Bunk Beds

3 months after ordering them we finally got the bunk beds in this week! This has been a highly anticipated event at our house, and one of the major things to check off the before baby comes to-do list. Kepler just turned 3 and was still sleeping in the crib. He was kind of attached to the crib so I wasn't sure how he would do, but once the bunk beds were up there was no looking back for him. He's so ready to be a big boy in his bed!
Jayna has been talking about sleeping on the top bunk since she got to sleep in the bunk beds last summer at the cabin.

Just a little bit excited...

The first couple of nights Kepler ended up back in the crib because he wouldn't stop singing/talking and keeping Jayna awake. Jayna is not into partying with Kepler at night before they fall asleep, she is all business and runs out to tell us if he makes one peep that he's keeping her up (party pooper!). Kepler quickly learned that talking means no bunks beds and so he's been quietly falling asleep ever since. At night he says to me "Mommy do I get to sleep in the bunk beds again? I promise I'll be quiet! No talking in the bunk beds, that's the rule." And he so desperately wants to sleep in the bunk beds that he's been following that rule.

Jayna still needs to get used to the fact that she shares a room and a bed now and that Kepler is allowed to come in whenever he wants to and play on the bunk beds too. But so far it's been a great transition and it's nice that the kids love going to bed, hopefully we can milk that one for a while! It's weird having an empty room though, I think it's going to take me a while to stop calling it Kepler's room.
