Big Boy Bed

Reynolds has been sleeping in his “big boy bed” for three months now.  Man, how time flies! When I initially posted on Instagram about the switch to the bed, a friend commented, “please write a post on this transition…I’m not even sure where to start”… Not that we even had a clue, but here’s what…

Our kid loves…
