The toddler bed...an exciting but sad for mommy transition.
The time has come, and I am sad that my baby is now out of his crib. There were several motivations for packing the crib up and moving Thomson into a "big boy bed".
One, he was climbing in and out of his crib and it really was not a safe place for the monkey that Thompson has become. Two, he was (and still is) waking up in the night and crying to get in our bed. And Three, with the new on on the way, I wanted to transition Thomson in to the new bed before the new baby arrives.
It is sad to realize that the baby you have nurtured for 21 months is no longer a baby, but a true toddler, in a big bed. Its almost the same feeling when they move from the bucket seat to a car seat, from the baby bath to the big tub, when they walk into the nursery with looking back to tell you goodbye. The truth is that these event happen, and there is nothing I can do to stop them, except soak in the moments and cherish each step of his life.
Enjoy the photos below of Thompson and Clark taking down the baby bed and putting together the Toddler Bed.

Baby Bailey #2 on the way!!
Baby Bailey #2 on the way!! Here is out first sonogram of the new addition to the Bailey family. Everything is healthy...we are 6 weeks, 5 days along...heart rate of 136 BPM...and measuring at .66cm. Thompson doesn't quite understand the concept of a new baby, but he loves other babies...so we are sure he will love his new brother/sister come January 15th!

a little update...summer is here!!
Clark and T...mowing the grass together...well, almost. Clark had about 2 feet left, and Thompson was in awe of the "Mo mower" so much that he wouldn't move for Clark to finish.
Yea!! We finally got the part in to connect the child trailer to the bike. Clark was so excited that we put Thompson in the trailer right after bath time. He wasn't so sure at first, but he loved it after a few minutes. Thanks Clark...I know Thompson and you will have lots of fun riding together!!
Thompson is loving music more and more...he discovered the i pod shuffle...and he loves to listen to the music and dance...and of course, push the buttons.
