Holden's Big Boy {Toddler} Bed

It feels like just yesterday that we moved Brantley into his toddler bed, but alas, it was over two years ago (he's in a true big boy bed now) and this weekend it was Holden's turn!!  At nearly 22 months, it's hard to believe that Holden is actually older than Brantley when we moved him (he was only 18...we were crazy!).  We weren't necessarily in a hurry with Holden, nor were we delaying the process by any means...we simply hadn't so much as considered it.  But that all changed when Holden climbed into Brantley's bed a few days ago, situated himself under the covers, and refused to move to his own bed.  He also recently transitioned from a Pack 'n Play to a cot at daycare, so all signs were pointing to a successful switch at home.  We really didn't hype the issue or plan for it in advance.  On Saturday, Craig asked if he should convert Holden's crib and on Sunday evening, he made it happen.  Holden acted like he barely even noticed.  Although, deep down I think he is proud of his new "big boy" status. ;)  We're three nights in and, as expected, he's done amazingly well.  The kid has always been a breeze at bedtime.  He just rolls over and falls asleep and doing so in his toddler bed was no different.  In trying to keep consistent with documenting #2's life, I grabbed my camera last minute to snap some photos.  I couldn't for the life of me get a photo of Holden smiling, but I assure you, he was as happy as could be!  Maybe just anxious to sleep like a big boy! ;)
