diego is over 2yrs old and was in his crib for the longest time... it made life easier for us all... 10pm, he'd go into his crib and jump for a few minutes then fall down, ready to go to sleep... sometimes, he'd cry but most times he was too worn out from his daily events to waste his time... after all, i would never budge... that kid stayed in the crib no matter what... why? because he needed to sleep and i needed my own time... and although 10pm is late for most kids, it suits me well since he wakes up later... (guess who isn't a morning person?! especially when my bedtime isn't until 3 or 4am?!)
so with some hard earned money made through making art, i bought diego a superman bed... and boy, he loves it! of course, there was a bit of encouragement by using a tiny tv in his room... i let him watch some superman for only a half hour but he couldn't even stay up that long.... and he will only have the luxury of the television for one week before i claim my studio tv back... (yes, i can stand my ground pretty well despite any tears or tantrums that may arise)... but he is handling the bed situation well... slept in it with one arm hanging over just like his father.... he is growing up, my friends! and soon, the crib will be once again occupied...
*and yes, he is in a superman bed, with a reeses pillow, hugging batman and spiderman... is he a boy or is he a boy?!
Aw the big boy bed! We waited forever too. Actually Mario didn't sleep in the big boy bed until we moved in here so he was ALMOST three ^_^

ellia, you are such a great Mom! Not only do you get him the kind of bed he would love but you know how to be firm about the tv.

I think it's great that you paid for the bed with money you made from your art. Way to go Ellia!

Congratulations on helping Diego transition into a bigger bed (and congratulations to him on handling it so well!). I'm hoping to get my 2&1/2 yr old into her big-girl bed this weekend - your post has made me hopeful!
