Benjamin,
Daddy has been really bad at getting these letters out to you and your brother. So bad in fact that you've now had your big boy bed for over a month and Daddy has yet to write about it! And that's a major life changing event for you because no longer are you protected by bars... what Daddy tries to pass off as protection for you, is actually peace of mind for Daddy. Now you're free to roam the bedroom whenever you please, and the first couple of nights you did. Occasionally we will still have to go in your room and lay you back down, but for the most part you've adjusted nicely to the big boy bed and have been going to bed every single night without any trouble. So let's start at the beginning! 
Mommy and Daddy had been showing you pictures of the Lightning McQueen Cars bed that you would be getting in time. You finally figured out how to climb out of your crib so it really was pointless to keep it because it's sole purpose was to keep you locked up when you were sleeping, but now that you had figured out how to lift your leg over the top, then your other leg, it was really all down hill from there...or down to the floor! We finally got you your big boy bed after weeks and weeks of checking Toys R Us and it never being in stock!
When it was time to put your bed together Grandpa Kevin came over and helped put the pieces together. In the mean time Mommy took apart your crib. While Grandpa was putting your bed together you couldn't help but stand inside of it and play with your toy cars. You were content with just sitting in the middle of the bed with no mattress or supports and Daddy thinks you would have preferred it to stay this way if you had your say of the matter. Jonathan joined you in the middle of the almost completed bed, and when it came time to do other things Jonathan went inside of his crib. Daddy can only imagine the terror it will cause when the two of you are roaming free! 
When your bed was finally completed Mommy took out your Cars bedset and made your bed for the first time. You were so excited that you jumped into your bed and laid down, shortly after you were joined by your brother! He wanted the big boy bed too! That night you didn't go to sleep right away, instead your cried at the gate we placed in the doorway to keep you locked up. When you finally went to sleep we tucked you back in and wished your goodnight. It's been over a month now and the only real problem that has happened is every morning you wake up bright and early, venture into Mommy and Daddy's room and wake Mommy up to watch Mickey Mouse. Who needs an alarm clock when you come walking in every morning at the exact same time? We're getting ready for another life changing event soon... so it was good to get this one out of the way. Just Realized Jonathan Will Need A Big Boy Bed Soon,
Scared...Daddy
