For the first time in 4 years, there is no crib in the nursery. Instead, there stands 2 twin beds. *sigh* Those easly years have really passed fast. I think back to when Claire was itty bitty, sleeping in the crib. I would nurse and rock her there in the middle of the night. Eventually she moved into her new room and we added a second crib to the nursery-- how funny that seemed. 2 cribs. 2 babies.
No wthere are 2 big boys in 2 big beds. The twins look so tiny-- to think that one day they will stretch head to toe, top to bottom in those beds.
The transition went pretty well. Luckily, I have Mima out here for a visit, so she can help with the bedtime routine with Claire, and then help me round up the stray twin or two...
Ave was not pleased with the switch initially. After about 25 minutes of helping me burn calories, he and Asher decided it was not so bad and enjoyed the freedom of their cages. They would run to the door, open it, look, and slam it on me. Then I wised up and put a doorknob cover on the inside-- they couldn't open the door. But that just meant the party just continued on the inside of the room. I would open the door and chase them back to their beds, kinda like cockroaches when you turn on the light.
About an hour after their bedtime, the twins were both asleep in their new big-boy beds. Whew!
A big shout-out to Uncle Casey and Chika for the HUGE help they gave me in getting those beds up and ready and the old cribs dismantled. So much more than I ever imagined!!!
