Big boy beds...

We are going on night three of our "big boy beds" and I have to say...it hasn't been so bad! These two are are like a walking comedy show. When they got their first glimpse of the beds Tommy yelled, "Yaaayyy!" and climbed on in. No crying...no confusion...just pure elation at having the new found freedom. We bought them the "lifetime" cribs that don't have sides that drop...instead you just take off the front and - voila! Toddler bed. They will also convert to full size bed frames when the time comes.

It's been an interesting week, but everyday has gotten easier. I LOVE having the video monitor as Kevin and I are able to witness some pretty funny moments during the transition. They climb in and out of each others beds...run around the room...and play with each others teddy bears. They have gotten into the changing table and thrown diapers all over the room. Eaten through a tube of Vaseline...and found a box of alcohol wipes that they decided to use as confetti. This made us quickly learn a whole NEW level of baby proofing. :)

Quick summary of the transition so far:

* Day one - TWO hours of them playing and talking before they crashed.

* Day two - Nap time took them an hour and twenty minutes to settle in/Night - Only took an hour before they crashed

* Day three - Naps? We don't need naps!!! (ugh)/Night - About an hour of playing and talking then they crashed.

* Day Four - Only TWENTY minutes before they settled in. Hooray!

Here are some pictures of the converted cribs. The bed rails are fantastic. They have cup holders and even little night lights! The boys love them.

Climbing in on night one.

Happy boys -- free at last!

Cole sleeping...I didn't want to get too close. SO afraid to wake him.
