Big Boy Bed (sort of)

For almost five years, Ben has been happy as a clam in his crib.  He has never tried to climb out, never said he was cramped or uncomfortable or anything.  Since he will be in kindergarten soon, though, we decided it was time for the next step:  no rail on the front!  Mark took off the front of the crib a few nights ago, and Ben just kept giggling looking at it!  He is such a sweet boy; we told him when he wakes up in the morning, he needs to wait until his clock reads 7:00 (or as Ben says, "seven zero zero"), and then he can get up and come in our room, or go downstairs and play.  And he does just that!  So proud of our big boy!
