Roomies

Well, last night we made the switch. We moved Ryan into his big boy bed and into Kyle's room. The two will be sharing a room in order to make room for their baby sister. The boys couldn't have been more excited, especially when they saw their new car sheets and quilts! Ryan actually likes his a little too much, we spend a lot of time pointing out the different cars and trucks before bedtime. Here they are ready for bed, or so we thought.....

We read our stories, tucked them in, turned out the lights, and then the fun began. We sat outside their door for a while, listening. Unfortunately for Kyle, Ryan likes to talk. And talk. And talk. Granted, he was a little wired over the whole situation, but the kid just kept babbling. So, Kyle would get frustrated and come out and tell us he couldn't sleep because Ryan was talking. Then, of course, someone else would follow. Ryan tried every trick in the book. He heard noises. He wanted a drink of water. He couldn't find puppy or baba. He wanted his covers back on. Anything to get us to come back in. We'd send them back to their beds and repeat. This went on maybe 10 times before we finally retreated downstairs. Don't think the fun stopped there, we were just tired of sitting on the floor in the hallway. It kept on going, and going, and going. I think it was about 2 1/2 hours later, they were both finally asleep! THANK YOU LORD! Nap time today didn't go much better, that was about an hour process. Tonight, though, things are looking up. Ryan only came out once and it appears that he is asleep (knock on wood)! Hopefully they'll get used to this soon. They've got 7 weeks to figure it out :) By the way, they will get real beds soon. The beds I had ordered are now delayed until middle/end of March, so we couldn't wait any longer. There's a nursery that needs decorating!
