The Big 2

If you were going to turn 2 years old, how would YOU celebrate?  Probably in some sort of a pirate-themed, pool activitied way right?  Awesome, that's what we did!

The only thing Grandma and Grandpa's pool was missing was a giant, blow up pirate ship.

Not anymore!

  

Yeah, that's right parents!

"My hands are dirty!"

"Look at my beard?"

"Ahhhhh ha ha ha ha aaaaahhh arrrgh! I'm a pirate!"

You're sleeping in a big boy bed!

The time has finally arrived for the short railings to replace the crib wall.  Yes, your child is leaving infancy behind and stepping up to the BIG BOY BED!!!

This is a pivotal point in a parent's life.  You prepare yourself for the proverbial bump in the night which tells you gravity has won a round, your child's head has a new bump, and your REM cycle will need a reboot.  It's a sometimes nerve-wracking business friends, but hey! It all starts out happy right?

It should be noted that on the morning after night #2 we found Oliver sleeping under the bunk bed on the opposite side of the room so, I'd say it's still a work in progress.

PS - We dropped the binky about a month ago cold turkey one night.  He cried a bit. . . I mean, hey, wouldn't you?  But he's done just fine ever since.
