Transition Time at the Gothreaux's

Here's Andy's new room...we're still waiting on a friend to finish up a few canvas painting to go on the wall above his bed.

It's official, Andy is now in a big boy bed...it was quite sad moving him out of his crib and into his big bed. Needless to say, Andy loves his big boy bed and loves the fact that we are always referring to him as a Big Boy now!

Before Baby Girl Gothreaux arrives, there are several things "I" would like Andy to transition to and moving him to a big bed was the first one on my list! I say "I" because some things on my list might be wishful thinking on my part. He's doing pretty well with staying in his bed during the night...he usually only gets up once and then back to his bed "WE" go! So...right now the challenge is trying to have him stay in his bed all night! But in the midst of focusing on getting the new sleeping situation perfected...we lost paci somewhere in the house. Uh oh...that was our last pacifier and I wasn't sure what we were going to experience not having it once we went to bed that night. Well Andy helped us search high and low throughout the house looking for his "pa pa" but unfortunately we were all unsuccessful in finding it! But when bed time came, he asked for it a couple of times, but I repeatedly reminded him that we was a Big Boy now and that he really didn't need it any longer! So we are now 1 day away from not having our papa for a week now! It has been so good and such an unexpected accomplishment! Thank you Lord for providing this opportunity for change and transition to occur so smoothly! But on a side note, I did find the lost pacifier under the curtains...and it is hidden in a special place now! HA!
