My son is growing up!!!

It's official and hot off the presses. My 22 month old is now sleeping in a big boy bed. I didn't think this day would arrive because of my lazy ass. I think he was ready months ago but I kept putting it off. The daughter moved into her big girl bed when she was 18 months old so for my son to be in that tiny baby bed for this long time was just pitiful for him. He out grew the thing about 3 months ago but getting the energy to go out and buying a bed for him was just to much energy for me plus he's the baby of the family. It makes him in the "not a baby" category from now on. The almost 4 year old daughter is a little bit jealous of him getting a new room ....kind of. I bought him pillows, a new blanket and things for his big boy bed and she kind of felt cheated because she didn't get anything. I keep reminding her she is blessed to have what she has and I know she knows but when it's convenient for her or when she has to have something. I wouldn't call my children spoiled but they do have some nice things. They live in a nice house and sometimes I think they have way to many toys when I'm tripping over them left and right but then I visit someone else's house with children and then I realize they don't have that many toys compared to other families. This makes me feel good because I like giving my children nice things and now I feel like I'm not going too over board. So the kids rooms are done. I still have plans for the Master bedroom. Stage 2 is still in planning. First stage was getting a bed and side tables. We got a sleigh bed and two nice china style like night stands. Stage two is buying a nice chair, a hanging lamp and some book shelves and the Master will be finished. I think I'm relived the son is in a bed boy bed. Now the hubby and I need to get our butts in gear and go get some dressers for the kids room. The daughter needs a new dresser because when she decided to give Manny our cat a bath she used her dresser as the tub. Lets just say we need to throw that stink in the garbage because I'm not going to waste my time trying to save this dresser which has been abused by the daughter when I keep fixing the thing every couple of months. I'll just get her a new better well put together dresser and cross the fingers she doesn't destroy this dresser too. Ahoy, I need a nap but the kids got up early from their separate quiet times so I didn't get my much needed nap. That's why I haven't written a lot lately because I sleep when the kids do. I need all the sleep I can get so my blogging gets put on last of the things to do during the day. Oh well, it's not like I have lots to say anyway. I need to go take care of the kiddo's. Take care, Peace!!!
