big boy bed - new room!

he did it!

friday, october 21st Asher transitioned to his BIG BOY BED and BIG BOY ROOM!

this has been a work i progress for about 3 months.

he watched us pour hours of love into his soon to be new room.

and we finally made the transition.

cousin paige was in town for fall break and she helped me break down his crib (which converted into his full size bed) and helped me put it together. asher seemed so excited as we were getting it all together. i on the other hand was a nervous wreck. asher has also been an amazing sleeper. why i thought this might rock his ship was just flat out amateur.

paige read him a book.

we gave him lots of kisses, he slightly panicked.

we surrounded him with lots of pillows, blankies, whaley (his new stuffed animal obsession) and tucked him.

as i walked out i could hear the sincere concern in his voice.

"mommy, lay on peelllow"

ok asher. "mommy hand pease" he wanted me to hold his hand.

as i would feel him fall asleep i would slide my hand away.

he would wake up and sit up and touch for my hand, arm shoulder. panicking that he was alone. missing his mommy's touch.

confession, i teared up.

he wanted me, needed me.

inside i was freaking out about what the rest of the night would be like.

it was so subtle but so sweet.

the first night was a great success.

he slept in till 8 am

first nap was 2 1/2 hours. shorter than normal but he stayed in the bed.

second night he did even better and slept till 8:45 am. HOLY MOLY!

this boy is so big!

if you remember many months back i shared my inspiration for asher's big boy room...

its AMAZING. probably one of the most gorgeous piece of work I will ever own.

i picked out the yarn to match his room color scheme and it is to die for.
