A night of firsts

I had to write about two firsts that happened tonight. We got home from a ward fhe and of course Ollie had to go to his pool and play right when he got out of the car. What we didn't notice was a group of bees drinking from the water and sure enough a minute later Ollie was screaming in pain, saying "ouch, ouch". He stepped on one and Ryan got the stinger out and ran his foot under cold water. Then we proceeded to talk about those naughty bees and that when we see them we need to steer clear. We kept an eye on him to make sure he wasn't allergic. I'm a little relieved to get that first bee sting out of the way.

Another first is that Ollie is sleeping as we speak NOT in a crib! He's has already done this a few times but always with me in the room on vacation. It's never been an all night by yourself ordeal so I'll report on how that all goes. But we put him on his bed about 40 minutes ago and he still has not come out or cried. What a sweet boy. It felt funny dismantling his crib knowing that next time we put it up, we'd be placing our little girl there. I already had my mom buy a toddler bed off craigslist at home for Ollie, so this will be some nice practice. Plus then he won't have to sleep on a twin mattress on the floor for very long. Growing up all over the place.

*An update from last nights adventure. Well it could not have gone better. He went to bed easily and did not wake up at all last night, and then woke up at almost 7:30 this morning! We should have just started him in a bed from the beginning:)
