Claiming "Big Boy" status

Yesterday was a very unusual day in our household. First, my little Benny-pie woke up at 7:30. Then he played in his bed during his 3 hr nap time. Happily, I might add. Finally, at 7:15 I put Ben in his bed and it made him mad!! Normally he would play for anywhere from 1-2 hrs and then go to sleep. This time, he was so angry and I couldn't figure out why, until I could hear his crying getting closer and closer to the kitchen table. He decided his bed was not good enough for him and climbed out of it 4 times in a five minute period. He was so upset that I picked him up and rocked him for a few. I made up some song and he then wanted A.J.'s bed. Reaching for it! So I put him in it. I hope that was not a mistake. He laid there and listened to me sing and then climbed down to get the cup of water he angrily threw from his crib, and then climbed back up. That was it. I left the room and he stayed there awake for a good 5-10 minutes, and the next time I checked on him he was fast asleep. I think he just decided it was time to be a big boy. He even refused his crib after I took off the outside rail. To him, it was still a crib. Andy is picking up the bunk beds the second weekend of Aug. so until then, A.J. might be stuck in a muck.
