In our house, one fall out of your crib and onto your head means no more baby bed. So Ethan scared the daylights out of us all by leaning a wee bit too far out of his crib and tumbling out landing LOUDLY onto his head. After spending a great deal of time trying to comfort him and calm down Olivia, Scott and I decided it was about time for Ethan to get a big boy bed. Scott also put together Olivia's pink head board that Nana got for her. So it was a long day of putting beds together, rearranging furniture, washing old and new bedding, kids with No naps, eek. It all came together nicely, and fortunately everything fit into the snug little room that they share. Ethan's first night in his big boy bed was also Mommy'd first night in the big boy bed. Like I said he didn't have a nap and he was extremely tired and out of sorts when he woke up in the middle of the night. After about 3 trips downstairs to comfort him, I decided to just crawl in. The second night Ethan and Olivia decided to sleep in the same bed. They were so cute - little sleeping angels - but I wasn't going to take a picture and chance them waking up. Needless to say, we are all still trying to catch up on our sleep. This adjustment period reminds me of trying to get a baby to sleep through the night. Here are some adorable pictures of the kids in their beds.
And a couple of Ethan, finally, sleeping...

So cute! Love the Cars bedding. It looks like he was ready for his new big boy bed. :)
Hope you are all getting good sleep now.
love, amie
Hard to believe they grow up so fast! Ethan reminds me a lot of Carter. Especially with the pacifier and the way his arms go behind his head as he sleeps. Your new posts are awesome. So glad to see and hear that God continues to richly bless you and your family. Christmas is great for all the different ages but the miracles, and excitment for the kids at these particular ages, is just wonderful. It is like an addictive drug to see them so giddy and thrilled with the simple pleasures of the tree, lights, and shopping for others. I hope this is a great season for you. Enjoy.
Cars!! Yay! His face must have been priceless. You one upped the Cars towel he asked for. :) And Olivia's bed is pretty!
