In Bed

Wesley is picking up Xavier's love of having things in the bed. Wes now sleeps with 4 stuffed animals (Bunny, Covy, Boots, and Deb-Debs), a big pillow, a little pillow, 2 blankets, and a Clifford book. Somehow there is still room for him! And every nap and night time I have to line up the stuffed animals on the big pillow, cover them with a blanket, and say good night to each one.

The things I do for my children.....

I always find it funny that kids like books in their beds....because it's dark (even for naps because we have blackout curtains) so it's not like they can see it very well. But it makes them happy.

After nap the other day I found Wes reading a little Clifford. He laughs at the same parts every time!




Speaking of beds..... We set up Wes' twin bed in X's room. We tried once to get him to sleep in it. That didn't go well. He pretty much thought it was a game and didn't stay in it. Plus he kept bothering Xavier. He has no interest in the "big boy bed" and tells me he needs to sleep in the crib if I mention the big boy bed. I normally wouldn't rush this, but I kinda need the crib soon :)  But we're gonna wait awhile longer and then try it again. I don't want this to be a bad transition for him. He sleeps soooo well in the crib that if we didn't have Elliott, I'd leave him in it forever.

Eek he's so cute. Don't mess with the happy crib sleeping! We still have WIN in a crib. He can get out easily, but he for some reason doesn't. It would be so different trying to get him to do his "Quiet time" (he doesn't nap anymore) if he weren't in the crib. So, we have three cribs. They're all Pottery Barn, we got them off craigslist for $35, $90 (with 4 sets of bedding and decorations) and $120 (with a mobile, 3 sets of bedding, and decorations). We could sell them all and get more than our money back out of them anytime, too! ;) Crib safety regulations haven't changed, except for the dropside thing, in decades so to me it seems totally safe to get a used one. OK that covers my ration of unsolicited advice for the day LOL Miss you friend! Talk soon
