Big Kid Room

The weekend after Thanksgiving brought lots of changes. For the past 6 months, Deacon has been sleeping in our room. For the past 3 years, Piper and Fletch have been sleeping in cribs. And, for the past 3 years, we've been living with a million toys in our living room. 

All three of those things changed last weekend.We moved all of Piper's stuff into Fletch's room and bought them two new twin beds. We also started to turn Piper's room into a room for Deacon, although that won't be complete until the room is repainted next week. And, we moved all the toys to the basement to create a kids' playroom.

In the few weeks leading up to this transition, we really talked up the idea of P&F getting big kid beds and sharing a room together, so that Piper wouldn't feel like Deacon was stealing her space. We also let them pick out their own sheets. They were so excited with their new room.

Overall, the transition has gone great. They've stayed in bed and been sleeping really well. We did have a rough time this past Saturday when they wouldn't nap, and on Sunday, it took them a long time to fall asleep at naptime, but they they slept HARD. I'm optimistic this good stuff will keep up and their big kid rooms will continue to be a success.
