changes for a big boy

We’ve had a couple of big changes in our home lately and Cam has handled both like a champ.

#1-Potty Training!

I won’t go into gross detail except to say he has done SO much better than I expected–maybe I was preparing myself for the worse. I was ready to give up on the second day when he developed 102.5º fever, but when he woke up on the third day fever-free and asked for his big boy pants, we continued on. When he returned to school his teachers were AMAZING at helping him and he was dry through his naps immediately (they were braver than I). We even conquered using a public toilet and using it for all output! (That’s the nicest way I can figure to say it, I promised no detail.)

#2-Big Boy Bed!

Cam was so excited to set up his big boy bed with Daddy, and more excited by his new night light. He stays in his bed until we come to get him after sleeping, and I’m assuming it’s because he needs to stay on his cot at school until his teachers say it’s okay to get up. I know it won’t last forever, but I’ll take it while it lasts! We let him pick out his own sheets, and he loves to drive his cars around his Cars sheets. I’m pleased that he also sleeps on them.

 

It’s hard to believe Cam has reached two new milestones, and harder to believe he is 2 1/2 years old. But it’s been a fun adventure the whole way.
