Bedtime Prayers

Most nights, Brian and I put Brody to bed together and then Brian will spend a little extra time in the room with Brody rubbing his back and talking to him..and most recently saying bedtime prayers together. well brian had to go outside and get the horses ready for the snow last night, so i put brody to bed. I sat down next to his bed and he said "Mama Brody Pray".....MELT MY HEART!! So we thanked Jesus for all of our family, Riley, the horses, his stuffed animals, his pacis....at least 3 times each! LOL he kept naming people that we had already thanked Jesus for, but wouldnt go to sleep until we thanked Jesus for them AGAIN:) i went downstairs for a few minutes and when i came back upstairs, i heard him saying "Nonna and PopPop too, Lindsay and KaKa(Parker) too, Meme and Poppy too...." he was in there thanking Jesus all by himself. i cannot think of anything else i would rather hear!

Big Boy Bed

Brody finally made the transition to a big boy bed last night. It went way better than i thought it was going to! He was very excited when we were converting his crib to the toddler bed. He kept climbing in and out while brian was putting it together. He thought it was so neat that he could climb in all by himself! He went right to bed and didnt try to get out! I did wake up around 1 a.m. to check on him and found him asleep on the floor with his blanket. I picked him up and put him back in bed and i dont think he ever woke up.

When he woke up this morning we left him up there and watched him on the video monitor to see what he would do....and who would have thought, the child stayed in his bed for 30 minutes and didnt even try to get out until we came up there to get him!

I just laid him down for his nap and he didnt try to get out of his bed for naptime either! Sometime i think i dont give him enough credit:) i thought this was going to be a tough transition....well i guess i shouldnt speak to soon....i will let you know after a week:)
