Saying Goodbye

Monday was a big day for Neal, he got his big boy bed!


Along with this fun new transition into growing up we told Neal that since he was a "big boy" now he had to say goodbye to his binky.


The first night was not so fun, he had a hard time falling asleep and was awake for about 2 hours until he finally fell asleep.  His nap the next day was similar, taking him over a half hour to fall asleep.  Also, he wasn't sleeping as long as usual (waking up early and only taking a 1 hour nap).  But like always he adjusts quickly and last night he did great!

This morning I walked into his room and told him he could get up and he said to me "Mama, Neal big boy sleeping, no binky"  He was so proud of himself and I was proud of him.

Neal teaches me a lot in how well he adjusts to change.  I'm not always so good with change in my life (especially unexpected changes) but seeing Neal trust Tyler and I and accept change, with little hesitation, reminds me that I need to continue to trust God without hesitation when change comes.

Good job Neal! I do not take to change well, so it always amazes me when kids do! :)
