Crib to Car Bed

One of the signs that your child is growing up is when they transition from the crib to an actual bed. In the case of Tonicci, we felt the need to buy him a bed when he kept on waking up at night and Jet had to bring him over to join us. I thought that he was probably not comfortable in his crib anymore. Who would be? The crib he slept in was actually a fold-up play pen!

At Walmart, we found a Lightning Mcqueen car bed which Tonicci fell in love with. While Jet was assembling it, Tonicci was so excited that he would even assist his dad so that he could finally see the finished product. After what seemed like hours of putting it together, Tonicci tested it and he was very happy. It was priceless! Imagine being so excited about a new bed?!

The first night he slept on it, he didn't even wake up at all- as he slept through the night! It was a first for us after so many months of interrupted sleep. On occasion, Tonicci still sometimes transfers to our bed. Maybe because he had a bad dream, or simply because he misses his mommy and daddy. Often we would be surprised to wake up finding him already beside us! We can't complain though, because it's always nice to snuggle up with him.
