Well the mattress was an easy find (there’s a whole other story with that). The bedding showed up next (see below). Evan was so excited to get to sleep in his "big boy bed". The big adjustment will be when we get the frame next week. Evan’s room is small, so he’s getting a bedframe with drawers underneath. This means the top of the bed sits quite a bit higher than his old bed, so he’ll have to use a stool to get in/out of bed for a while.

The first night he has to get up to go to the bathroom will be interesting.

I’m sure Holly is muttering the actual name of the style of bed Evan is getting as she reads this.

Sorry honey.

I’m Mom’s boy, forever. Sorry Dad.

Ehhh… he could have said worse.

So I asked if he could clean really fast too. He said he was the fastest cleaner in the whole world.

So now Evan is showing me how fast he can clean the toy room. Sweet!

Holly continues to get up extra early for work so she’s usually the one to find these surprises first. Lately it’s been a dog had an accident, so she hasn’t had any ‘good’ surprises until this morning. Holly normally checks on the boys before starting work and this morning she found a pile of clothes in the middle of Evan’s floor. She felt the clothes and they were wet – it appeared Evan had an accident over night.

Really? I didn’t go in to help him. Holly didn’t know about it until she literally stumbled on the clothes in the middle of the floor. She found Evan sound asleep in his bed as if nothing was wrong. Huh? So what happened? We’re guessing that Evan had an accident, woke up from the accident, changed his pajamas, climbed back into bed and went back to sleep. And he did all of this without saying a word or making enough noise to wake anyone else up!

Now that’s the kind of surprise every parent needs now and then.

Evan tried to open the truck door with his face.  He didn’t do a very good job.

As I set him in his bed, we had this brief talk:

Me: Oh Evan, you’re getting to be so big.

Evan: Sorry Daddy, I’ll stop growing so I can stay 4 and be your little boy.

Almost choked up before I got out of his room. How can you not get emotional with a comment like that?

Evan was trying explaining to me how one of his iPhone games work. Apparently I was a little too slow on the uptake to figure out how an iPhone works.
