Big boy bed

Well, Charlie is officially sleeping in a big boy bed. I know this will come as a shock to some of you who thought we would make our kid sleep in a crib until he was 5, but we finally did it

He just loved his crib so much and never climbed out so we didn’t move him into a big bed…

We figured since he is almost 3 and all of our friends with 18 month olds are sleeping in big beds, it was finally time.

He did great- he is still afraid to get out of his big bed and just stands up in it and call for us-

Here it is:

trying it out

Here is what we found the other night when we checked on him- he never even woke up

Funny Charlie stories:

The other day Charlie said something and I started laughing and he said, “That’s not funny, it’s serious”.

Charlie was at grandma Karyn’s house and he went upstairs. She went up to check on him and he was sitting at her computer. She asked him what he was doing, and he said, “I’m checking my email”.

The potty training is going well- he seems to have gotten it, but is very funny about things. When he is making a #2, he sits on the potty and with a very serious face says, “sometimes poop hurts my butt… I take my time… I take my time” HILARIOUS! (sorry that may have been TMI for some of you, but i think it’s funny).

April 16-20 Charlie, Mimi & I go to Sanibel Island to get out of the house for Bill’s boy’s golf weekend.

It was so beautiful here. The water is shallow and we found tons of shells. This is a great place for family trips.

Key West

April 2-6:

We decided to take a little road trip and head to the keys.

We stopped at Marco Island on Wed April 2 to visit the DiMaggios who were on Spring Break. We had a great dinner with them and they let us crash at their place- thanks for a fun visit guys!

Charlie was great in the car (actually it was the best behaved he was all weekend)

Thurs-Sun- we had great trip to Key West. It is so beautiful there. The water is amazing. Charlie the devil came on the trip so we had to perfom a few exorcisms on the trip. Bill and I managed to get plenty of drinking in- you can walk around everywhere with a drink! We had a great time….

We stopped for lunch in Islamorada and check out the funny boat we saw

This is what you see on the drive

There were roosters everywhere-this one was in a tree

Boat ride

Why we are not winning “Parents of the Year”

1. While on the glass-bottom boat ride, we were heading back to the dock and a guy on the dock was lifting up his shirt shouting, “Show us your t*ts”

2. While waiting for our table at a restaurant, Bill yelled “No Charlie” and I turned around to find my son with a cigarette hanging out of his mouth.

3. Within 1 hour of checking into our hotel room, the front desk called to “check if everything was ok” because they received 2 calls from the people below us that it sounded like people were jumping off the bed.

4. We took Charlie into Sloppy Joe’s (bar) and let him watch a movie on his dvd player while we drank and listened to the band.

5. We allowed Charlie to watch the street performers eat & play with fire and knives- (we did have a talk about this afterward)

Key West is a beautiful & fun place- next time we’ll go alone or with other couples so we can have even more fun!
