NOT Ready for this!

After asking the doctor on March 1st for information on how to transition Cole into his own bed, we finally decided to try it last night.  We knew it was going to be hard but had no idea what we were in for.  There are definitely some lasting effects; here are pictures of the damage done by Cole the Destroyer.  Long story short, he cried a total of 3 1/2 hours, puked all over, took off his pajamas, and turned his crib into wood shavings.  We cleaned the paint chips off his face and brought him back to bed with us at 6am. 

Here you can see the inside of the top rail.  It used to be solid brown.

Another look at the battle scars.

And a close up.  The crib was white until we painted it brown.  Now you can see the brown, white, AND wood underneath.

To end on a happy note...

These were the first and last pictures on the camera last night.  Danny and I enjoyed comparing them and noting how much he has changed.  The first picture was taken on November 3, 2009 so there is 4 1/2 months in between.
