Our first big change is Elijah is now potty trained. I was not ready for it and had planned on waiting closer to him turning 3. But he was ready, so we went with it. He has done better than we could ever have hoped for and because we did it when he was ready, I truly believe it made all the difference in the world. I just kept it laid back and positive and that worked great for him. Realistically though, we know that until he gets older, that we will have to stay on top of this every day. :)
We do have him in a pull-up only at nighttime, because we can tell he still needs it at this point. Yes, the pull-up will be going away soon. All other times though, he is in "big boy" underwear. Yippee!
The second big change that has occurred is that Elijah now sleeps in a big boy bed. He still loved his crib but we decided to move him because he had started sleeping with his legs through the slats because he wouldn't give up his favorite corner to improve the situation. He would wake up and have major marks on his legs and we just couldn't see him that way. We also knew with traveling this summer it would make the trips a lot easier. He seems to really like his "big boy" bed and has been doing wonderful with his naps and bedtime in it. I think the biggest shocker, to both of us, as of this posting,is he has never gotten out of his bed or has even tried. But then again, he never got out of this crib either. :) We are still looking for bedding and are in the process of redecorating his room to look more like a boy's room instead of a nursery.
Think he likes his new bed?
