he's moving on up

To a toddler bed, that is. As most of you know Drew has been climbing things almost as long as he has been walking. But, for some reason, he never climbed out of his crib... until last weekend. When Drew wakes up he usually needs a few minutes to shake off his grumpiness (a little like his mommy) so when he woke up from his nap, we gave him a few minutes as usual. This time, David heard a thump and when he opened the door, Drew was all-smiles playing with Mr. Potato Head on the carpet in his room. So all week, he's been climbing out of his crib when he wakes up and even had a scratch on the cheek to prove it. This weekend we took the side rails off his crib and transitioned him to a toddler bed. He's been doing pretty well. He has a bug-light on his wall that we set to a timer so he's not allowed to get up until it turns on. It's kinda funny because he still cries out for us to come get him when he wakes up. I've posted a couple more pics of his "big boy" room on Flickr since I never did get those out.
