BIG changes afoot

This weekend has been ROUGH, to say the very least. John has had a difficult time sleeping for the past week or so, but this weekend has been the worst.

Last night we put the boys to bed as usual, expecting to be up a few times to help calm John. Eventually, nothing we did calmed him down, so we decided to let him cry it out. Our little Spidey figured out how to climb out of his crib...THREE times. After the third time, the 4 of us took a trip to Babies R Us to try and find a solution. None was found, so we decided to go home, put their mattresses on the floor and hope for the best.

To make a long story short (trust me, the full story is much longer...), we wound up having a camp-out/adventure/slumber party in the boys' room. Mommy and Daddy slept on the floor, while we tried to keep the boys on their mattresses and asleep. It was a LOOOOOONG night.

We took a trip to Wal-Mart bright and early this morning, and here's the end result:



BIG BOY BEDS!!!

Naptime didn't happen AT ALL today, and bedtime so far has been ok. I wish I could say the transition is going smoothly, but it's not. Hopefully we won't have too many disruptions tonight - we're all tired!

Tomorrow, we have more big things happening - the boys are both getting tubes! I never thought I'd be excited about putting my kids through a surgical procedure, but I'm tired of ear infections, sinus infections, and general illness. We really need this to be the solution. Hopefully things will go well!

The beds and boys are adorable. Here's hoping everyone is settling into the new routine...including the ear drums:)
