Ballet Performance and Big Boy Bed

We kicked off the weekend with Natalie's ballet performance on Friday, which completed her week of dance camp. It was adorable, and Mom and Dad thoroughly enjoyed it! The other big event of the weekend was moving Owen to a "big boy bed." We are actually doing this in stages, as we did with Natalie, to get him used to the freedom of sleeping in a bed. We started with the mattress on the floor, soon we will move up to the mattress and boxspring with bed rails, and ultimately we will actually assemble a bed. We are a little hesitant to move to the bed rails yet since Owen is a daredevil and likes to climb - we anticipate some falls from trying to balance on the rails in the future. He already likes to show off how he has taken "surfing with Elmo" (the Elmo surf rocker) to a new level with balancing on it, standing, and rocking with no hands. He is very excited about his bed and the dinosaur bedding set that he picked out. The bed transition has been mostly successful. We had no issues the first night, however, we had no nap time the next day - three hours of play time instead. Then last night, he fell out of bed at least 4 times. So, we're working on it. We also spent some time over the weekend getting little brother #2's room ready, and we had a fun (but hot) trip to the playground.
