Big Boy Beds!

{I tried to post this last night, but the internet was out . . . so, we’ll try again!}

First, I must include this sweet picture from the park today.  Look at these adorable children!!  When we moved here and became friends with these families, not one of these little ones was born yet.  Isn’t that wild?  And, there are three sets of twins here . . . can you find them?  We are just so thankful for the friendships that the Lord has given us here—what a sweet thing to have so many kiddies in the same stage of life!  {In case you are worried about Baby Anna being the youngest, the little boy who is staring at her like she should not be in the picture will be welcoming his baby in July—he he!} 

When the boys got up from their nap, we started to get their room ready for the big transition.  Hudson knew he’d be working hard tonight, so he went ahead and pulled out his drill and {backwards} hard hat so he could get all warmed up and ready for the action!

Step 1:  Taking apart the cribs!

Daddy loves his helpers!  Slow and steady, slow and steady!

Baby Charlie was here to lend a hand, too, and we were so glad to have him!

When he wasn’t hard at work, Mr. Precious entertained Little Sis—he adores her!  It is so cute to watch!

William and Hudson were in charge of collecting all of the screws from their beds.

I love this picture.  Oh, I just love it!

Mommy helped, too!  Team work, as the boys say!

Sugie came to deliver waterproof mattress pads, which mommy neglected to buy . . . and, she was able to lend a hand with Baby Annabug Bananabug, too.  

Taking cribs apart is very hard work, you see.

You have to hold on to all of the tiny pieces, so it’s best to carry around your tool box.  {By the way, I received these tool boxes and aprons as a baby shower gift—best gift ever.  These boys LOVE them!}

 

Daddy and Bumps put the beds together while we were having dinner, which the boys were not  happy about.  They were able to help mommy get their new sheets on though, and that was exciting!  I mean, who wouldn’t want to sleep on diggers?

This was a trial run of the bed . . .

And, sweet dreams, my little loves!

When the boys got in bed to go to sleep, Hudson stretched out his arms and legs and just relaxed.  It was so cute!  Hatch and I both agreed that this big boy needed more space!

Although we had already said goodnight once, the boys called us back in their room because they needed something—we went.  William said “Why I in big bed, Daddy?  Where my crib?”  Hatch said:  “Because you are BIG, William.  You are a BIG BOY.”  And, that was it!  

Although, Hudson woke up about 10 minutes ago crying, and we could hear him saying “I sleep with WEEYUM!  I SLEEP WITH WEEYUM!”  Although their beds are up fairly high and there are rails all of the way down, I wouldn’t be surprised if we found them snuggled together one of these days!

Let the adventure begin!  {or, continue . . . }

{And, an update:  both boys woke around 5am, had a little party in their beds, and then fell back asleep until around 8ish.  We let them play in there while we got ready and right before we walked in the door, we heard Hudson say “I get down.  I get down!”  We walked in the room just as he had pushed his bedrail off the bed and bumped to the floor!  This is what he said:  “Me up dere.  Me get down.  Me okay, Me OKAY.”   So much for these two waiting in bed until mommy comes to get them out!}
