Lots of "Big Boy" things happening

Caiden finally graduated to a normal bed last week. It was bittersweet for us. I could've kept him in there for a few more years, but truthfully he was just getting a wee bit big. I'd hear his legs knocking on the sides of the crib when he would try to roll over while he was sleeping and I feared that it would start waking him up. As you can imagine he was really excited at first. Then as we were putting him to bed that night reading him a book in his bed he said he wanted his crib back. Of course!

Every night (except for three nights) he's come into our room around 2am and wakes us up. We then walk him back to his room, lay him down and tell him he has to sleep in his bed. Feels like a newborn again. Then about half the time he's back in our room again at 5am and we walk him back in his room and tell him it's not time to get up. The past few nights he's slept all the way through until 7:30am or so -I hope we're on a roll!

He also took swim lessons for two weeks straight last month and we now have a pretty darn good swimmer! It was so nice just banging it out in two weeks and not going every single week for a year. He jumps in and swims to the steps or side. He swims for about 7 seconds underwater before coming up for air and now he wants us to push him to the bottom of the pool so he can touch with his hands and belly. He'll be picking up those diving sticks in no time!
