The Big Boy Bed

After dragging my feet for a while we decided it was time for Nathaniel to move to a bed and out of the crib. So I cleaned off the bed and bought a bed rail. We hyped it up to Nathaniel and last Saturday night he spent his first night in the "Big Boy Bed". Now don't for one second think that we didn't know we were in for some trouble. I was really worried that even though Nathaniel can not yet open doors I was sure that he could still wreak havoc on the house if he got out of bed and I didn't know it. Well, today - three days after this experiment started he did it. I was down stairs ironing and I didn't hear him get up from his nap. In my defence I had the baby monitor on and I went up and stood by his door several times to see if I could hear him. The last time I went up I still didn't hear anything but I could smell the strong odor of diaper rash cream. Yep, you guessed it, he got into the diaper cream and had it everywhere. His face, his hands, the dresser, the light switch, the window, clothes that were sitting on top of the dresser and yes, his clothes. He was slick as a pig. I'm sure I will be finding diaper cream in odd spots for days to come.
