Big Boy Beds

Brett has been in a big boy bed for about a year. Moving him to a bed in his own room was a big step, but the move was great and he started to sleep much better. Which meant Tate and I began to sleep much better. So although we knew Jackson and Peyton were old enough to be moved to beds we admittedly were enjoying our rest. It wasn't broke so why fix it?
Well they are almost 3 and a half so it was past time.
We already had the beds from when I panicked when they climbed out of their cribs and made Tate run around with me to buy them and immediately put them together only to realize that they weren't ready for beds yet.
We spent several weeks talking about it. Tate repainted their room while we were in Wisconsin. The day before they were to help Daddy change their room we went shopping and Jackson and Peyton got to pick out their own bedding. They insisted Brett get something new for his room too and picked out some really cute truck sheets for him.
It has been over a week and they are doing pretty well. They had a few nights of calling us into the room any time they stirred but seem to be settling into their new setting. Each of them falls out of bed most nights - but the beds are just inches from the floor and it doesn't even wake them up.
Although they love to play on their beds they don't get out of them until one of us comes to get them. I don't know how long that will last, but we are enjoying it.
I got all choked up when I walked in the room with the new furniture all set up. They really are getting so much bigger.
They even help make their beds every morning!

Here are some photos of the transformation:

I wish I had a better picture of Brett helping. He was so excited for his brothers and loved his new sheets. He helped build most of the dresser drawers with Daddy while Jackson and Peyton shopped for their first real pillows.
