For my boys !

Last night Nathan woke up to tell us that he had to go potty and then he proceeded to go.    He had a wet diaper on.  and he woke up with a 2nd wet diaper this morning (the first one was changed after going potty) but that he woke up and said "pee pee ah potty" was amazing.    And also not something I want to start.   I'm fine with him wearing diapers/pull ups until he's 5 if it will keep him in bed.
Thing is....he's sleeping in a new bed and his whole sleeping routine has been altered.
He starts out in his new bed and then between 1-5 am he and his brother make their way back to our bedroom.   Nathan will usually lay in his old bed which is still against the wall in our room.....Ryan crawls up and cuddles down under the covers between me and J.    Which basically is in fact his old bed.  
BUT.  that they are sleeping in their own beds, in their new own room, for 6 + hours has my internal orgnans doing a dance in my body.    Hope fills my soul people.  FILLS IT TO THE BRIM !  The tippity top.

Sleeping arrangements

My sweet boy.

We let them sleep together in the full on the bottom in the beginning.....this is what happens....for over an hour.   They can't NOT play so Nathan is now on the top bunk.    It seemed like the perfect solution.   Ryan likes the touch of skin and would reach over feel Nate's face and fall back to sleep.  :)  Maybe later on.
Cameron and Spencer have been moved downstairs to the guest/nanny Nicole's old room.    I didn't think they were ready.   J was ready.   We started talking about it and planning some fun things like a star wars themed room.....and both boys were hooked and fully on board.
Spencer has always been my best sleeper and continues to do so.   Cam will come up stairs one or two times and I'll either walk him back down or tell him he needs to go to bed and he does.   We leave the bathroom light on and it seems to help.

Next up....radon check.  
(no pictures...still working on details and their bedding is currently in the washing machine)

Sydney was distraught when,   "EVERYONE GETS NEW STUFF BUT ME !"
So we agreed to move her bedroom around.   She got to pick where everything would go and pointed while J and I lifted and rotated to get it just right.
I have to say.....she did a pretty damn good job.   I was a little hesitant (as I can be a bit of a control freak (shut up)) and would have done things slightly differnt if it were up to me....but it wasn't and it's all her room and it turned out perfect.
I have wood letters that need to be modged podged and hung up.    I've had them since she was 2 month I think.   Time to getter done.



P.S.  Both babies continue to potty in the potty.   We went to a jump house place for a few hours last night...Nathan in underwear and Ryan in a pull up.   They took several trips to the drinking fountain.   Nathan went potty twice.  Ryan once.   Neither time did I have to ask them if they needed to go.....and they both came home dry.   AMAZING !   Again with the dance party happening in my chest cavity right now.    eeeeeeeeeeh !
It was our turn though.   We earned this.
