Well Maks has made the move to his big boy bed. Technically he should have been in it about 10 months ago when he started climbing in and out of his crib, but mommy was not ready to give up the crib yet. I am still sad over it, he is our last and I feel the last part of "babyhood" has slipped away. Well we are still in pull-ups, but he is definitely not my little baby anymore.
This all happened over the weekend. He had a rough night with a cough, so I brought him in the twin bed and slept with him. The next day for nap, he said no to the crib and said, "bed naps" and climbed into the twin bed.
Same thing that night and that was it. He says "night night" to his crib and gets into bed with his bears and his blanket.
I am proud of him, but heart hurts as I look at the empty crib.
It just all goes way too fast.
In other bed related news, it seems Alek just doesn't nap anymore. At school and camp, he does quiet time with books while others are napping (though once a week we get a note he was a little disruptive). Weekends he won't nap unless you lay down with him and pretty much force him into it.
For the most part he is ok without a nap, the plus is he goes to bed earlier and sleeps longer.
The minus, those 2 hours of getting some cleaning and laundry done in peace are gone!
He does have days when he is melting down by 6pm, but they seem few and far between anymore.
Again, where does the time go?
I miss my babies.....

In other activity related news:
Alek has been enjoying camp, which comes to end tomorrow, he is none to happy about it and has let me know each day. I promised him next year he could go all summer. I am trying to sell the extra activities at school and the private swim lessons and the biddy sports camp we signed him up for. I think it is working!
Maks is really starting to do everything Alek does, he lost most of his fear (unfortunately) and throws caution to the wind and goes for it. I hold my breath and hope for the best! His agility is improving alot, he has mastered pedaling his big wheel, balancing and riding a scooter and climbing the swing set. He is so proud of himself, his self confidence has really taken off as his speech has improved. It is great to see.
We all are enjoying the start to summer, lots of fun so far!
