Best part of your week? When he told us our new house is 'perfect'. Perfect is his new word and it is adorable.
Worst part of your week? Kiddo came down with a cold yesterday. Hoping the rest of us don't get it.
Milestones? Only 1 month after converting his crib to a toddler bed, we set up the double 'big boy' bed yesterday and he had his first night in it. He had trouble getting to sleep, and woke up because of the cold, but informed me this morning that his big boy bed is 'perfect', lol. We wanted to reclaim the crib well before we would need it for #2 to eliminate jealousy where possible. Hoping that the transition will be smooth.
