A couple of weeks ago we moved Connor into a big boy bed and he looooooves it!! He wants to show anyone and everyone that comes over and he also will tell complete strangers about it. Even though Santa really didn't bring the bed, when someone asks what Santa brought the first thing he says is "big boy bed!" The first couple of days he kept asking Josh and me, "Want to come see my big boy bed?" I catch him time after time in his room just rolling around or playing with toys on his bed. Sometimes he asks me to turn on his light just so he can look at his bed.
I sure was hoping the big bed would keep him in bed longer but between 5:00-6:00 every morning he's up running into my room. I will say though it has been super easy to put him to bed. We read a couple of books, then I tuck him in and leave and he has yet to get out of bed...at least for a few hours!
These pictures only show the quilt and bed. I still have decorations and other accessories to add to the room.
He loves to sleep under his covers, head and all. From the video monitor and standing at his door it's hard to see if he's even in the bed because he's all covered up!

I don't know if it would help with the sleeping longer or not, but my neighbor bought this clock that changes from red to green. If it is red they stay in bed, if it is green they can get up. It works great for them. He little guy is almost the same age as Conner. I think he starts talking at about 5:30-6:00 in the morning and they have the clock set for 6:30, so he can't open the door till then...
So, putting him to bed so easily is due to the big boy bed? We might just have to upgrade Brady now (even though he did just get new Toy Story bedding for his toddler bed). But, if it will cut down our 2 hour bedtime routine, it's worth it!
