my big boy

on friday, my day with logan, i put him down for his afternoon nap. i layed him in his crib. kissed him nite nite, blew him kisses, and closed his door. then i went into my room to sort laundry. my usual friday routine.

two minutes later, logan walks into my room holding his blankie and says, "hi mom" with a look on his face that told me he knew he had done something he shouldn't have. this was the very first time he had climbed out of his crib. i was relieved he was not hurt and wondered how he had done this and so quickly.

i learned later how he did. logan had quickly learned to put his right leg on the top of his crib and hoist himself up. then he used the rocker chair next to his crib to climb down and out the door (which he knows how to open as well). dang it!

needless to say, chris and i scrambled to figure out what to do. do we get him a tent and keep him in his crib? do we put him in a big boy bed? what do we do? we decided to get him a big boy bed and hope for the best. we found one and bought him buzz lightyear sheets (his favorite). here are some pictures of the transformation.

he loved the buzz bedding. here he is hugging it.

the last time in his crib. :(

he's demonstrating how he got out.

right leg up. . .

and over. . .

safely onto the chair.

helping daddy take his crib down.

such a big helper!

building the new bed

patiently helping daddy

"where does this one go?"

"mom, enough with the camera"

this is me crying. . . how did this happen so fast?

logan literally jumping on his bed.

chris and i are laughing at this point.

"nice job dad."

logan with the giggles

at least he's happy about this.

"it'll be ok mom"

checking out his sheets

(that's an oreo stuffed animal tail he has, not the real oreo!)

seriously. . . he fell out playing. no harm done.

nite nite sweet pea.
