I have put some time in painting rooms and arranging beds and purchasing new sheets. As we moved furniture from room to room and completed assembling the bunk beds, it hit me that Layne would be sleeping in a big girl bed and her crib would be disappearing! It also hit me that I hadn't put a lot of time into strategizing on how to get her to stay in her big girl bed! Or, how to do that while she was sharing a room with Abbey, who needs her sleep! The rooms looked cute, but I could be headed for disaster!
first nap
Lucky for us, the bunk beds are the biggest excitement we have added to the house in a long time, and Layne is thrilled to call that bottom bunk her own. This first nap was monumental. She slept. She stayed in. I yelled for Royal to disassemble the crib!
It was still standing when she woke up, so we let her say her goodbyes.
and then Landen wanted to say goodbye too
and then I started to wonder if this crib would actually make it into storage!
Kid number 3 does this to you. You stop worrying so much. It's either because you are in a new state of "laid-back" or you are just mentally too tired to make anyone do anything. I fully embrace laid back, and look how much fun my kids are having! And neither the crib, nor the kids, sustained any damage. And, worn-out, tired kids crash at night and don't hop out of their new big kid bed and wander the house!
