Project Big Boy Room (1st Attempt)

So last night we attempted to put Jax to sleep in his NEW BIG BOY ROOM.  Throughough the past month or so there has been lots of prep work put in to building his level of comfort in his new room.  We hung out in there, read him stories in there before bed… etc, etc.

I decided to LIVE TWEET the event last night.  Here is detailed account of what will go down in the history of Chronicles of a New Dad as one of the biggest mission failures in history!
