Big Boy Bed!

My friend Rogan had a great idea: If you don't want to be in your crib anymore, climb on out! That's just what I did yesterday when mom tried to put me down for a nap. I didn't feel like sleeping but she was just going to let me cry. She sat down and turned on the TV to drown out my noise, well I showed her and I climbed out, opened my own door and said, "Mama, climb out bed, walk". She didn't know whether to scoop me up to make sure I was okay or to start laughing hysterically. Needless to say I was quite proud of myself. Then she took me back into my room and asked me to show her exactly how I climbed out. It was simple. I hiked one leg over the top and straddled the crib like a horse and down I went, just like hopping a fence! And the good news was I didn't have to take a nap. But I wasn't finished yet. Last night I did the same thing three times and mom and dad both saw me on the video monitor. First I threw out all of my stuffed animals and blankets (to ensure a soft landing). Yeah, I'm a real thinker. So today Dad and Papa put together my big boy bed! We'll have to see how that works out later. But so far I love it! Thanks for the good idea Rogan!

Wow Jonah! You are a big boy now. Isn't it great being in a big boy bed? You know you don't have to wait for your mom to come and get you now when you are done sleeping. You can get right up. For some reason my mom doesn't like it when I do that though so you better stay put.
