Movin' on Up

So apparently Shelby loves change about as much as she loves the Easter Bunny and Santa Claus...(which she truly, truly, truly dislikes those two-I mean seriously!!) Yesterday Pratt had the day off and as I was playing in JP's room with him I got this crazy idea that it would be a great day to move him into a big boy bed. We decided that it would be easier and cheaper to buy new bedding for Shelby to move into the queen bed than it would be to buy a new mattress for JP so that was out plan. As we told Shelby that we were going to go to Target so she could pick out a new comforter and sheets because we were going to put her in a big bed and let JP have the little bed the tears and protests started. It took a lot of coaxing, but we got her to Target and she picked out a princess comforter and pink and purple sheets (I know, surprise, surprise). While we were in Target it suddenly hit me....we aren't going to have a crib in our house any more!!! Let me tell you, some of my friends eagerly anticipated that day, but I haven't looked forward to it one bit and I really don't know why I didn't think of that first when I was coming up with this crazy plan. Oh man, how sad!!! We have had that crib up for over four years and now it is gone. That is just almost more than I can handle so I am going to move on from that thought.

Anyway, after nap time we set about to move the beds around and put everything together. It started out well and both kids were very excited, but when it came time for bed Shelby was completely broken hearted. All she kept saying over and over was that she wanted her old bed back. Boy did I feel terrible. I kept asking Pratt if he thought I made a mistake for everytime she asked for her old bed. Of course, in the end it all worked out wonderfully. Shelby and JP slept through the night and neither one got out of bed once. Hopefully that is a trend that will continue, but I have a feeling it won't take long for JP to start jumping...yes, I do mean jumping...out of bed several times a night.

This is Shelby's new princess bed. I think that Pratt and I are going to get new sheets for our bed because the sheets that she picked out are the softest ever!!

Here is JP in his new bed. He really like it a lot until we put him to bed in it. Part of the problem may have been that we didn't have time to take down the crib so we just rolled it to other side of his room. He asked about it a couple of times and I told him that his baby cousin Sebastian was going to be sleeping in it. What I didn't convey clearly was that I didn't mean that he was going to sleep in it in JP's room, but he was going to sleep in it in his house once Uncle Patricio and Aunt Suzy get moved. After I mentioned Sebastian he kept asking for him to be in the crib and the first thing he said to me this morning when we woke up was, "Where Bastian?"
