Babies no more...

So this past weekend we turned the boys room into a big boy room....it is hard to believe they were outgrowing their cribs...I know they are 2 1/2 but they are still my babies!!  The boys room has been extremely simple....partly because I am trying to leave without clutter...and partly because they do not have a large room....add two cribs to that and you lose space quickly!!

So here is the progression....



This is the view from the door....we had it originally set up with the beds taking up most of the room...and they slept in the crib on the left together for the first 4 months.  It took up quite a bit of floor space...but all they did was sleep or get a diaper changed so it wasn't too big of a deal.  Once they became more active we changed it and put each crib on a wall and opened up the space between the cribs and in front of the cribs.  They do not keep too many toys in their room.  They mainly stay in the playroom but there were a few items in baskets and then of course their giraffe chairs....Clyde and Barnacle :)

So the picture on the right is the officially "Big Boy Room".  Just basic beds that we got for a STEAL at a local furniture store and some super boyish plaid bedding.  We kept it very simple...they have some of Kev's framed sports pics in the room....but I plan on finding some curtains and doing something over the bed's that is new and exciting....via some Pinterest inspiration :)

They were so excited when they saw their room!  I wish I would have had a picture of Bryce's face!  It was priceless :)  Carter was just excited to get on the bed and jump!!  They love their bed's and had a blast playing on them.  But what we were scared off...night time...and actually sleeping in the bed :)

All I could imagine was two little boys jumping back and forth from bed to bed....toys being thrown everywhere....crying....fighting and lots and lots...and LOTS of up and down :)

So...how did it turn out...AMAZING!!  Bryce went to his room to watch his Veggie Tales video and was asleep within 15 minutes....Carter went into his room after watching Annie with Katelyn and I and watched a few minutes of Cars 2 and he was out....they got up twice...at 12:30 am and 3 am half asleep and a little confused but laid right back down and fell asleep back in bed :)  The next night neither got up and slept through the night and they have done so since.  Carter is in our room by 7am in the morning and the first thing he says is "Eat breakfast?".  However, Bryce sleeps in until at least 8 or 8:30.

So proud of my little fellows!!  I can't believe how big they are getting....now if only we can master the potty :)
