New Bed


So, we finally got Caden into a toddler bed. We got him an early birthday present. We just got it over the weekend. We got him the bed and new Cars Bedding. It is a firetruck-shaped toddler bed. He just loved it when he first saw it. He thought it was a toy. Caden and Lola play in it all the time. The siren on top is an actual nightlight. We thought about getting him the racecar, but the firetruck has sides so he won't fall out, so that is really nice.

We haven't had any problems. He goes down and doesn't come out until the next morning. If he does come out early, it's usually around 6am and he can choose to go back to his bed or sleep on the floor. She just falls down on our premade bed and goes right back to sleep. We don't have to get him out of his crib anymore, hoping to not wake up Lola. Yay! We have been letting Lola cry it out through the night. She usually would wake up a couple times in the night. We would put the bottle in her mouth and she would just go back to sleep. She wouldn't even eat. She did have a cold so I felt bad that she was crying, but now that she is better we have been letting her cry. She doesn't wake up anymore. It has been great! It took her a little longer than Caden, but every kid is different right? Still not wanting to potty-train Caden, any tricks you wanna share?

Well, I have no advice for the potty training- but good luck!! And the bed is adorable. I'm so glad that Lola is sleeping better at night. . . yay for everyone!!

What a cute bed! I hope he loves it. Jaxson thought just the picture of it was cool. Good luck with potty training. I can't believe Caden is so grown up. And Lola is almost a year old! I think her birthday is close to my due date, May 9th. How did you like having a baby in May? I think it'll be great, although I did like Jaxson being a winter baby. We'll see!
