Jamie's big bed (cont)

Just a quick update. First night in his big bed went without a hitch (astonishingly!) and he had to be woken up this morning. This is how Sarah found him;

Clearly he's not quite grasping the concept of a bed yet. I wonder if we could have gotten away with a much smaller mattress :)

So, fingers crossed for a repeat of this tonight and then on to building the actual bed this weekend.

This parenting lark's a doddle... sometimes... occassionally... rarely... almost never actually, so should really celebrate this going as well as it did, unless this is just the calm before the storm.

You know, if 10 years ago someone had told me I'd be excited about a 2 year old sleeping in a bed I'd never have believed them, and you know what? I'd have been right, excitement isn't the word. Relieved, cautiously optimistic, surprised, yes. Excited, no. I might be a parent by I'm not THAT sad yet ;)
