Jalen Andrew Moves to a Bed

Summer's here, and as promised to the girls, we moved Jalen Andrew out of the crib in their room and into a bed in the boys' room.
I was all prepared for resistance on his part. I was all prepared for him to get out of his bed a zillion times when I put him down for his nap. I was all prepared for crying, or atleast playing with his brothers' stuff once the door was shut.
What we got, however, was a little boy who held onto his blanket, laid his head down on the pillow, closed his eyes and went to sleep.
Magic, I tell you.
I thought for sure that when it came night time, he would climb out of his bed, he would cry to be left alone.
What we got, however, was a little boy who again held onto his blanket, laid his head down on the pillow, closed his eyes and went to sleep.
With this kind of obedience, I'm encouraged for potty training!
What a big boy you are Jalen Andrew!

'Bout time! :). 15 months is always the magic age for my kids. Glad you had a quiet night, though, you deserve it.
