We went to our friends farm this past weekend and Ben had a blast. He got to play with Jack, Eli, Sam and Annabel. A big thank you to Jim and Kaia for hosting us and letting us ride the 4-wheeler which Ben decided to name 'little tractor'. He even got to go on a true tractor ride in the back of a wagon with hay. Overall he enjoyed seeing and doing farm things that we read about constantly in his book. The barn was even fascinating to him which is awesome.

However, I think it was at the farm that he saw Jack was sleeping on the floor or in a big boy bed and ever since he's wanted to sleep on the mattress we had on the floor in his room. I've been reluctant to move him to a big boy bed since it's extremely convenient to know he's going to remain in one place all night in his crib and he's not been climbing out to this point. Although I was able to find the lightning mcqueen car bed on sale so I decided to give that a shot instead. Finally tonight he is getting his wish and not sleeping in his crib. Even though he's not truly sleeping yet and it remains to be seen if he will, I'm hopeful it will be a smooth transition. He was overly excited to see the car bed in his room and proceeded to jump on it for a good hour straight so we'll see if that's what happens all night or if sleeping will actually occur.
