Ryder is Growing Up

Ryder slept in a crib until March 1 (a little over a month ago) and never tried to get out once. He loves his bed, and going to bed, and always has. Since the beginning of March he has been in a big boy full-size bed, and still has never tried to get out. When he wakes up he sits in his bed and waits for us to come get him.

Ryder's room is right across the way from ours, and today we woke up to Ryder coming into our room at 6:00am. We even have a gate on the outside of his door to prevent him from getting out and possibly falling down the stairs at night, however, he not only got out of his bed for the first time, but he also got out of the gate (that I didn't latch properly last night, since he never gets out of bed).

Today after his nap, he didn't sit in his bed and wait for us like he usually does, he got out of bed, opened the door, and started calling us from upstairs (this time the gate was latched). The days of him leisurely waiting for us in his bed are over...as of TODAY!
