Xander is growing up so fast. Here are some of most recent milestones. Recently, Dolphin introduced him to taking showers. He absolutely loves them. Showers means more time for playing with toys and less time getting clean. They save a lot of time for Mommy and Daddy, too. Of course, baths with lots of bath toys are still fun, too.
This weekend, we picked out a twin bed for him. He's been doing pretty well in his converted crib toddler bed. Rather than buy another crib, we opted to move him up so the baby could use the crib. I was surprised to find it hard to find a good twin mattress on craigslist so we had to buy new. Maybe on the local college students snatched them up. We'll see how the transition goes. I have a feeling that the Spiderman sheets from Grandma and Grandpa are really going to help motivate him. Plus, we'll be able to actually read his bedtime stories while laying in bed with him, which we weren't able to do with the toddler bed.

Oh man, you're brave. Our neighbors did that and naps have gone out with the crib. I think that the book, "The Sleep Easy Solution" by J. Waldburger and J. Spivack has some theories on how to transition and keep the naps. Good luck Xander! Spidy to the rescue. :)
The good thing, because of day care, Xander is kind of used to sleeping in different places. I am also looking at getting him a Twlight Turtle to make bed time less scary. He definitely has fears of the dark, even while awake in the evening. He'll accidentally go into a dark room and run out screaming.
Sounds like you are aware of what his reactions are and preparing. That is perhaps a mistake I've made with the girls...they will only sleep in thier cribs. Not even on the sofa or in the car seat or in the stoller. But it works for us. We just go with THE schedule. My mom (Nana) on the other hand DISLIKES it very much becuase she wants sleep overs.
