Andrew Anecdotes ~ Big Boy Bed

So, I finally moved Andrew out of his crib and into a big boy bed. It has taken a while: 1. I said I was going to leave him in there until I needed the crib for someone else, but at the rate I am going he'll be in college before that happens. 2. He is such an escape artist that I wanted him contained as long as possible. Luckily, so far, I told him he couldn't get out of bed until it was morning and if he needed me to call, and he listened. The first two nights have gone great!!! He is still asking me to sleep in his bed with him,but after I tell him no a few times he accepts it and goes to sleep. Now we haven't done a nap in the the big boy bed, and I have a feeling that is going to be interesting. We haven't' gotten the bed spread out of the attic yet and we aren't going to buy a bedroom set or anything until we are done having kids and know what to get who and so on. The big red quilt is one my Grandma Dottie made for me when I was younger and the white and red one my Great Aunt Ginny made me for my first baby. Andrew really likes it. It was the blanket I'd but on the floor for him to play on when he was a baby. We recently got it back out when he started asking to be covered up at night about a month ago. When I pulled it out he saw it and went "oh cute!".

A few other funny stories from this weekend. Marc asked him who he loved more, mommy or daddy? (I know why would he do that) Andrew thought about it for a few seconds and then said "Bruce". The other funny thing he did was when we were getting ready to wrap some Barbies for a friend's birthday and Andrew told us he wanted a Barbie too. Marc said only girls play with Barbies, you're not a girl are you? Andrew then replied "I am a girl and I want a Barbie!" Then at the actual party someone commented how his friend was opening her presents so lady like and Andrew shouted "I'm a lady too!". Sometimes those girl toys just look like so much fun to play with. ;)
