Changes Abound in Our House

I've decided that it's time for me to make/allow Miles to grow up a little. These changes have been long planned out, but I didn't want to put them in motion until we got back from our Spring Break trip. Change number one has proven to be easy. On Monday I gathered up all of Miles' bottles and threw them away. He hasn't asked for one yet. The next change involves getting Miles to sleep in his own bed and in his own room. Miles has slept with us since he was one day old. It's time for him to move on. This transition is a work in progress. First, we had to get him a bed. He inherited Nolan's bedroom furniture and Nolan got new furniture. Saturday night, Miles fell asleep on the floor in our room. We moved him to the toddler bed. He stayed there until sometime in the night. I woke up Sunday morning and he was in our bed. Sunday night he slept in his bed until 2 a.m. before waking up and climbing in our bed. Monday and Tuesday I didn't even try the "in your own bed" game. Yesterday we did the furniture shuffle and I took Miles to go pick out his very own sheets. He chose Lightening McQueen. He was excited to put his sheets on the "big boy bed" in his room. Dan snuggled Miles and fell asleep. Miles got up and came and found me. He slept with me until 2:30 a.m. this morning when he got up, left the room, and slept in his big bed in his own room. Currently he is napping in his own bed! Hopefully we are on the right track. The last task is potty training. Miles loves carrying his potty around with him and today he spontaneously decided to sit on it (fully dressed, of course). Another good thing may be in the near future!
