I feel responsible that my little son has to grow up in the next month and will no longer hold the baby title. Tonight we made the shift of him sleeping in our room in his toddler bed to his own room. We had originally shifted him from his Portocot into the toddler bed so he could be use to that but lately he has been waking up very early because of his dad getting ready for work and I knew it was time to put him in his own room. Plus with only about 6 weeks till the new baby comes I knew we would have to transition him soon so it wasn't a big shock. Right now I miss him and want to go in and give him a cuddle but he is fine and he will be fine.
We have also started working on weaning him off bottles because he really doesn't need them and has been drinking from a cup for a while. I think that was more of a AHA moment then anything just having to realize that he is old enough to do the toddler stuff. Next is the dummy/pacifier which I am not excited about but also sick of finding or making sure to have one.
Little Joe is very special to me. I really healed a lot physically and mentally when he was born because he allowed me to overcome my troubles from my c-section with Hinalei. Sometimes I feel like I can look in his eyes and we just understand each other. He is one of the sweetest spirits I know and I am so grateful he came to our family.
Love you my son!!
