It's Time for Big Boy Beds!

John had to change the boys' cribs into toddler beds on Friday, much sooner than we expected to. When I went to get the boys up in the morning Oliver was in Owynn's bed! I asked John if he put Oliver there and he said "noooo..." Uh-oh. We have their cribs next to each other with about a 2 foot gap between them. John watched Oliver at nap time Friday pull up on the edge of his crib and slide across into Owynn's. We had been hoping to keep them in their cribs longer, but apparently they have other plans. I suppose it's about time, they just turned 2. Right now I am very very happy that when we bought their cribs we had the foresight to spend the extra money and buy two nice, convertible cribs.

The first two nights went pretty well. Friday night we tucked them in like normal, and they were up and out of bed in just a few minutes. We put up a gate in their door way to make sure they didn't get into anything if they got up in the middle of the night. They played for about an hour before the novelty started to wear off and they went to bed. They wound up in their own beds and tried to cover themselves up with their blankets. They woke up nice and early, but they stayed in bed all night without a fuss. Yay! Yesterday we spent the day over at John's parents doing laundry so the boys didn't get a nap, so they were pretty worn out by the time bedtime came along. Oliver fussed just a bit , and they wound up on the floor in front of the gate nodding off. I tucked them back into bed and they slept just fine all night.

Nap time today has been a different story. We put them down for a nap about an hour and a half ago and they have been playing pretty nicely in their room since. So I guess I'm glad there hasn't been any fussing, but there definitively hasn't been any sleep yet. I expect to have two grumpy toddlers tonight.

They were pretty darn cute the other night, here are some pics!
