Big Boy Bed

For New Years we are vacationing in Chelan and decided to let Alton try and sleep, for the first time, in a "big boy bed." (not the crib which still contains him, as he has not figured out how to climb out!) This was the ensueing conversation about 15-mintues after stories were read and night time kisses exchanged.

Bedroom door opens a few inches...

Mommy: "Alton? What's going on?"
Alton: "Weellll..." followed by pregnant pause. "Somefings wong."
Mommy: laughter stifeled only by my most concerned parent voice"What's wrong, Alton?"
Alton: wheels spinning, "I need milk."
Mommy: "You do not need milk. Please go back to bed."

The door closes, giggling follows and feet run and jump back into bed as the next plot is being hatched...

In the end, he did chose to stay in bed long enough to fall asleep for the night. Nap time wasn't quite so successful and the port-a-crib had to be employed. We'll see how it goes tonight. Let the games begin...
