In a recent blog, I indicated that we might be switching the boys from cribs to toddler beds soon. We did it this weekend.
On Saturday afternoon, while the boys napped, Ryan and I assembled the toddler beds. After they woke up, we disassembled the cribs and moved the toddler beds into their room. Connor was distraught to see that his crib was no longer an option. He is pretty sensitive to change.
By Saturday evening, they both had played on their beds enough to think they were pretty cool. Ryan put them to bed while I was out fulfilling a church commitment. They both went to bed without so much as a peep! They slept through the night with no problem and even let us sleep in a little later this morning.
My darling sleeping boys on their first night in the new beds. (We have a pretty amazing flash!)
I was fully prepared for this to be a very difficult fight. I've heard countless stories of toddlers who were still awake 3 hours after bedtime, toddlers who were in & out of bed a billion times, and toddlers who tore their room to shreds. We had none of that. In fact, tonight is their second night in beds & it was just as easy as last night.
We have not done naps in the new big boy beds yet, but we will on Tuesday when I'm home for the Veterans Day holiday. Hopefully it will go equally well.
I'll probably curse myself by saying this, but never in a million years would I have guessed it would be this easy.

I wondered how naps went...I guess they just slept at church today then, huh? Congrats! They are good boys:)
They look so cute! Making the change from crib to toddler bed wasn't that bad for Gretta, but I still can't let Eliza sleep in the crib for fear of her life. Oh well.
That's awesome! yay for big boy beds! :)
