New beds!

The boys have been sleeping on twin mattresses for about a year and a half now. We moved them from their cribs to low-end twin mattresses placed right on the floor in their bedroom. No rails or guards were needed since they didn’t have far to fall. At first, they rolled a lot & we’d find them all over their room in the middle of the night or in the morning but as time went on, that happened less & less.

We took the plunge and bought headboard/footboard sets for each boy and upgraded their mattresses to fit better in the new beds. (We are going to use the old mattresses up at Cory’s dad’s cabin.)

Cory spent the day, last Friday putting the frames, headboard and footboards together. I washed all their bedding & had the beds re-made by the time we picked up the boys at daycare. They were surprised & excited…although at bedtime Wyatt mentioned being a bit scared because he was up “so high” but it hasn’t turned out to be a big deal.

It has been 5 nights since they started sleeping in their new beds & we have not had one roll-out incident yet. We do have some fluffy blankets rolled up next to each bed, just in case, but it’s looking good so far.

Just one more step towards growing up…
