Austin's new big boy bed!

Austin's crib was recalled and we decided on a whim to return it to the store. Aaron's surgery was quickly approaching and it wasn't something he wanted to worry about returning in a cast or in the snow, if we waited until his cast was off. The good thing about doing it this way was that I didn't have time to get sad that our house is now crib-free and my baby is a big boy :(

Initially, all three boys were very excited about the new Lightning McQueen big boy bed:

But apparently Austin didn't find it very comfortable. This was how I found him the morning after the first night. Somehow, the edge of a rocking chair provided more security than a new McQueen big boy bed.

But then he adjusted and I started finding him like this:

And like this:

And quite often I find him like this and discovery he has retrieved the framed photo of Aaron and I from his book shelves and brought it to bed with him. Bless his sweet, little heart....
