Weekend update

We have had a pretty big change around here! Last week, the twins made the big switch to their toddler beds. We converted the cribs to beds with toddler rails on the side. As usual, I worried myself sick over it, and they transitioned very easily. I always make their transitions into a huge deal, and they constantly remind me that they are ready. I think this was the case of Mama not being ready for the crib phase to end. Rush cried for just a couple of minutes, but overall, it was an easy switch. I put their crib bumper pads back in the bed to keep them feeling snug and secure for the next few weeks. We will eventually take those out. I also bought new bedding for them. I am going to do a nursery transition and change it into a room that is more appropriate for them now. It still has several things in it that are very "babyish". So, I will have to post some big kid room pictures once the transformation is complete. Right now, I am looking for rugs and lamps for each of them. I am going to basically divide the room in half and let each one have their own "side". Rush's side will have a sports theme, and Frannie's side will be cute owls, flowers, and trees. (They are pink girlie owls, not scary, middle of the night owls.) Rush has a awesome baseball print that we will use on his side. I can't wait to see it on the wall. It is really cool! So, each side will not match at all, but I am going to try to make the room symmetrical (if that makes sense). So, each will have a lamp, rug, table, bed, bedding, etc. on his/her side, but they won't match.
Rush... less than thrilled to be having his picture taken first thing in the morning.

Sissy sleeping in her toddler bed...They both sleep in their beds like this. Rather than sleeping with their bodies going down the length of the bed, they wedge themselves into the short side of the bed.

In other small changes.. we (aka Phil) rearranged the furniture in the den. We have had it this way before, but not since the twins were born. It is nice to have them both be able to pile in the chair and a half with us rather than the recliner. SF was getting selfish with "her" space in the recliner. The other day she said, "Move leg, Mama!" Apparently, I was in her way.

P.S. Do you like the new monkey pajamas? Also, notice the cars on the arm of the chair beside Rush? He is never without them. We have to pry them out of his hands before he goes to sleep at night.
