Big Kid Room!

On July 9th we decided to transition Gracie and Bailey's room into a big kid room. We already had the mattresses and bedding but we had been waiting until just the right time. We kept going back and forth on whether or not they were "ready" but we decided to cave in and just go ahead and do it. It was emotionally hard to say good bye to their nursery that I loved so much but I kept telling myself to concentrate on the positives and the blessing of having two healthy big kids now! We had prepared ourselves for the worst on the first night after hearing horror stories from other moms in my twin club but our babies "oops I mean big kids" surprised us and they did great. They both stayed in their beds all night and have done super ever since. Gracie just recently did discover that she can get out of her bed and help herself to books in the middle of the night but we are hoping that this will pass once her two year molar breaks through and doesn't wake her up at night. The big kid status has really seemed to help their self esteem and I am so proud that they are doing so good. Bailey has train sheets on his bed and Gracie has pink birdies on her sheets. They love to count their trains and birdies as they doze off to sleep. I am looking forward to adding some big kid decor to their room but with twins everything is doubly expensive so we have to do a little bit at time!
