We made some changes around here yesterday! After nap time, we got on it, and it took until supper time before it was done.
Rowan is in not only in a big boy bed now, but we have moved our sleeping arrangements around completely!
Formerly, we had Laela in her bed, Dekker in his bed, and Rowan in his crib all in one room. It was tight, but it worked.
However, Rowan potty training is looming and he needs to be out of a crib. And frankly, a third single bed simply will not fit in the same room! The whole room may as well just be a bed. Rowan was never one to try to escape from his crib, but with my body suffering as much as it is, its getting harder and hard to lift him in and out of there. It was time for a change.
Behold! The new set up, shown here in subpar pictures 😉
This first picture is Rowan and Dekker’s room. Ro’s bed is the one with the headboard. After we took the picture, we added Dekker’s nightstand between the beds, which added a little something. And until now, his nightstand has lived in the closet, so this freed up some nice space in there! Win!
And Laela and Sollys room! Laela was SO excited to share with Solly, and loved having her bed set up somewhere new. She snuggled in it on and off while the kids played around her 🙂 Solly was also amped to have someone to share a room with. Possibly even more excited that Laela’s Elsa came along with Laela herself 😉 He LOVES her Elsa!
The work of putting things together was a family affair for a while, but it took SO long to get the whole thing done that by the end, it was mostly Brady working and me trying to wrangle the small ones out from under the 2x4s and away from the drills.
Dekker helped take Laela’s bed down, and reassemble it in Solly’s room.
He and Laela both wiped the baseboards behind the beds that moved, and we vacuumed everything good and proper. When it came time to assemble Rowan’s new bed, some of the novelty had worn off, so Brady did most of the work himself and I hung out on Dekker’s bed with Solly and whoever wandered in.
It took the rest of the afternoon, but it all got done!! What a relief! The kids were all happy with the new sleeping arrangements and their first night in new spots didn’t mess anything/anyone up too much at all.
Rowan fell out of his bed in the first stretch of the night, but by the time Brady got there, he was already back up and fine. He slept with his head by the footboard, but there could be worse things. Everyone was happy in the morning, with no complaints of wanting to be in other places, and everyone appears to have slept, so we’re calling it a WIN!
Rowan’s two days of birthdays are wrapped, and I think it all turned out super well! Spring can come anytime now 🙂 We’re ready for you!
