Big Boy Bed Update

Well we're getting closer and closer. Hooper's big boy bed is almost complete. Actually tonight is our first attempt to get him to sleep in it so pray for us all. He's wanted to sleep in it since it's been in his room but due to the helmet and football "rails" not being complete we would not let him just yet. And sleeping in the big boy bed means no more "Bob" the pacifier. This should be interesting! Actually the first night we had his bed in his room he wanted to sleep in it and we told him that he couldn't and that even if he could that he wasn't allowed to have Bob in it. So he shocked us and threw Bob in his crib and layed his head on his pillow. This is what gave us the idea that this may be the way we break him of Bob. I'll post updates later on how all of this works tonight. But for now here are some of the latest photos of the bed. It's all complete with the exception of the drawer facings and Dee's going to work on those as soon as Neyland's nursery is complete. First things first, ha!
Dee putting the helmets on.
Yes we even got Tennessee sheets for it.
Oh he LOVES this bed!

Here's a photo of his big boy bed and crib next to each other for now.

The football "rails" are not on in this picture. I'll try and post more of the "almost" complete bed later.

As Dee was drilling the helmets and final touches to the bed Hooper ran and got his drill and made some adjustments himself.

Love the look of determination here!

Stay tuned for more pictures. I'm very behind on blogging so I'll be posting lots this week...hopefully!
