Bed Graduations

This is Noah's first night in his new bed (12/2/09)...these are Liliana's sheets...by the second night his blue sheets were on there! :o)

We graduated Noah to Liliana's bed and got her a new bed and put hers up on a frame...wow! :o) Liliana loves her new bed! She is even napping in it...voluntarily! :o) She feels like a princess way up there in her new bed. Awe!

Noah had been in his pack and play for several months since he jumped out of his crib. He is such a little guy of routine that he had a hard time transitioning to his big boy bed. He would get out of the bed and come to the door and call for me and when I would come he would stand there and talk this jibber-jabber really sweetly and then I would say "Noah, you need to go to your bed and go to sleep" and he would say "close" and close the door and lay down...and he would do this again and again. He was WAY TOO SWEET to be "in trouble" for getting out of bed just yet. He was so sweet and innocent and he just seemed so perplexed by this new set up and this new found freedom, he just didn't know quite what to do with it. SO, the first night we were tired and Donnie wasn't ready to really hang in there with me so we surrendered to put him back in his pack and play...Noah was so happy at the idea that he stood up and threw his blankets in there and was so happy...BUT...less than two hours later he woke up about three time crying within 1/2 hour, which is something he never does, so I brought him to his new bed and snuggled with him until he fell asleep. AWE!!!

The next night he did the whole calling me and love talking thing...he would put his hands on our cheeks and get right up in our face and whisper the sweetest little nothings - literaly - lol... way too sweet...so we were very patient with him through his transition and found that the threat of putting him back in his pack and play kept him in bed!

Today I took the pack and play out of his room and he is sleeping so sweetly in his big boy bed!

Every kid is different and our little guy is definitely SWEET, SENTIMENTAL, AND A CREATURE OF HABIT AND ROUTINE.

Their room is so sweet and cozy now...we are blessed beyond measure!!!
