THE BIG BOY BED














The earnestness in his wee voice is heart-breaking as he shows me
his new "big boy bed" and I can't help thinking, "you're only two."
At naptime, he tries to talk me into letting him sleep in the crib but
I know that's not a good idea;, the new baby is due in less than six
weeks.  I tell him how proud I am that he's sleeping in the new bed,
pile Douglas the dragon in with him -- a special treat, and his pink fish.

He eyes me bravely, blinks away tears, tells me solemnly, "It's okay,
I'm okay Grandma."
