Movin' On Up

Yes, they are jumping on Dane's new toddler bed!

Blake's face when he first came in his room

to find a new big bed!

So proud of his new big boy bed! Amazing that it was
once a crib.

Enjoy some cuddling (actually wrestling) time on

big brother's new bed.


I am not sure why Matt and I chose a random Wednesday night to tackle this project, but we did it! Nothing like scrambling to wash new bedding, take apart and put together two beds and get everyone situated all on a school night! I can't even put into words Blake's reaction to his new full size bed. He was so excited that he was speechless. He kept climbing on and off of it eventually saying "Mommy, bed!" every time. Once the bedding was on and it was time for bed he got right in the middle - laid down - and pulled the covers up to his chin. And that was it! I actually had to wake him up this morning to get ready for school, and for those of you who know our family dynamic well, that is EXTREMELY unusual. Blake is an early riser who likes to run into our room and climb into bed with us...usually before our alarms have gone off.

Dane, on the other hand, seemed to have a bit of an adjustment to the new freedom of the toddler bed. He never made a peep, but was found sitting in his little pottery barn chair across his room awake when we went to check on him at 11:30pm. Once put back into bed he stayed put and slept well all night until I woke him (which isn't at all unusual for this 13-hour + sleeper!)

I also am having a little bit of a struggle adjusting to seeing my two little guys in their new beds. They have grown up so fast and it is a little difficult to see cribs taken apart, crib mattresses and bedding sold and them becoming more and more independent each day. And, no, that doesn't mean it is time for another one... :)
