Easy Transitions

On the 10th we moved the queen bed into Chase's room in preparation for Christmas.  Since my family is coming my sister will be staying in Owen's room and I thought that by moving the bed to Chase's room Owen could sleep there.

Chase was so happy and excited. I wish you could have seen his face. He said, "I love my new bed" over and over. He slept in it at nap time but I wouldn't let him sleep there for the first night.  I just wasn't ready for the transition, boys out of bed at night, etc.  We were saying prayers and I asked him what he was thankful for. He didn't say anything so I started praying. I heard him whispering over and over and I asked what he was saying, he said, "Love my new bed!" How cute!

The following night he really wanted to sleep in the bed and so did Owen so we let them. They stayed in there the whole night and called for us to get them this morning! YEAHHHHHHHH. I kept expecting to see them peek around the corner while we were watching TV.  When I checked on them they were lying in the middle of their beds with no covers on.  They were so sweet.  Since last weekend they have slept in their big boy beds with no hint of wanting their cribs.  We had kept them in their cribs this long because they said they didn't want to sleep in big boy beds.  It was easy for us and we always knew where they would be.

Owen's big boy room.  Since his room had never been painted Jeff painted it to coordinate with the new bedding.  I love how it turned out and Owen was very proud of his new room.

It's been a little strange without the boys in their cribs. I find myself walking into Owens room and turning left instinctively to look for him in the crib.  He has awoken in the night looking for his blankeys. They are not as easy to find in a big boy bed.
