Now to big boy beds.
It was so sad for me to move their cribs out of their room. My hubby was gone all day and we had their new beds being delivered so it was up to me to take their cribs apart, tear. I think it was good for me though. I reminisced about how long it took us to put the stupid things together, and I was able to disassemble them both within 30 minutes. I thought about all the diaper changes that happened on that changer, when we only had one crib and the boys slept together for a few months, I thought about me taking pregnancy pictures in there weekly, with the crib in the background. Yes, it's just a crib, but I think most moms can relate that each new step in a kids life, is that much further away from when they were your itty bitty baby. And that stings a little.
So now the boys have a loft bed. Yikes! It's not as tall as a bunk, but still has some height. I was so worried about them falling off when they were learning how to go up and down, and lo and behold, while I was out running some errands I get the call that Roo (formally H.B.) fell from the top of the ladder. He was fine, shaken up a bit, but not hurt, thankfully! That was day one. At night it took a few attempts to get them used to their new sleeping situation. We let them choose if they wanted to sleep together or separate and in which bed they wanted to sleep in. Roo choose the bottom and C.J. choose the top. I was surprised by this, because C.J. is our more cautious boy and Roo is our daredevil, but I think his fall scared him...he still will climb up there, but very carefully. There was no fighting over who got what bed, they were just happy to be in their new big boy beds.
They slept pretty good (C.J. had a cough so that was keeping him up a bit) but with some rocking and love, he went right back to sleep in his new bed. They look so tiny in these big boy beds. I love it! So proud of my big boys!
