Ryder's New Big Boy Bed

Since we have another little one on the way, we decided to move Ryder out of his crib and into a big boy bed. I was expecting it to be very difficult and that he wouldn't stay in this bed after we got him down at night. We went and picked one out at Kid to Kid for about 30 dollars (can't beat that!) It's a Mater bed (from the movie Cars). Ryder was VERY excited! That night at bedtime he completely surprised us and did awesome! It's been about 5 days so far and he hasn't tried to get out of the bed once at night or for his naps! There has been a few times when he's pointed at his crib (we haven't taken it out of his room yet) and said, "sleep in that bed), but we just tell him he gets to sleep in his big boy bed now. We do our normal bedtime routine, and then lay him down and he goes right to sleep! I'm so relieved! Now it will be much easier to use the crib when the new baby comes.
