Big boy, big bed

After the other night where Mitch was sick, it was my turn. I don't think I've ever been so sick. Fortunately Mitch and I are (fingers crossed) both better now and it appears to have missed Meeks (double fingers crossed).

Anyway, now that Mitch is a bit older we decided that it was time for him to have a big boy bed. The Ikea cot we bought can be converted into a bed by taking off the bars on the sides and half the height of the bed heads. What you end up with is this ...

Mitch loves it. He is so excited about being in a big boy bed.

So far he's had two day time sleeps and one night time sleep with none of this ...

Very well posed by Mitchy. The bed is so low to the ground anyway that even though we have a rail thing we decided not to put it on. We have put a couple of pillows down when he's been sleeping but even though he moves around a bit when he sleeps he hasn't managed to fall off.
We have also had a lot of this ...
Bouncey! Bouncey! Bouncey! (Gotta love those bright yellow digger pyjamas!)

And this ...
Jumping off!

We were a bit worried that he wouldn't like the big bed and that he would want the sides back on, but he has been very excited about it. We'll get him a proper big bed in a few months when he has gotten used to a bed with no sides. That will be another milestone and I suspect we'll need to put a rail on a big, big bed, but we have to do some clearing out and think about reshuffling the furniture before we do that.
