Smooth Transitions

I am happy to say that our transition to the "Big Boy Bed" has been fairly smooth. His first nap resulted in him being put back in his bed about 15 times, but then he got the hint. The first night he fell out of bed while trying to retrieve his glow-in-the-dark seahorse. He cried, screamed and re-arranged his blankets for about half an hour, then finally fell asleep. Since the first day, the crying time has decreased. Our routine has changed of course, but we're figuring it out.

Today I was in a cleaning mood (so rare!) and cleared out his closet. I still have a few things on the top shelf, but he can't reach that yet anyway. I moved his two dressers into his new room. The small one is in his room, the big one is in his closet. I don't know where I'm going to put his clothes hamper or diaper pail yet. I'll get my husband's input on that tonight.

While I was in such a mood, I re-arranged the hall closet and pantry. Now I have to make a list of what I need to re-organize it and keep it looking nice. I want a bin for medication, another for "extras" ie toothbrushes, and another for medical supplies. Most of my pantry is already in Tupperware Modular Mates. I love my Modular Mates!
