room shuffle

all of the kids have already been in a twin bed by the time they were manning's age. (mainly because we needed the crib!) so tonight we moved him into a toddler bed.  and since we were taking the crib apart, we decided to move it into the boys' room. manning has been in madelyn's room because she is gone during the day (for naps) and is a very heavy sleeper (so a newborn up all night wasn't going to bother her in the least - and didn't). but she has been counting down the minutes until she could have a "girl room".

the boys were all pretty excited about the arrangement!  maddux was a little too excited and kept trying to play with manning once we had everyone in bed for the night.  he was throwing toys into manning's bed.  surprisingly, when manning did walk over to our room (about 20 minutes after lights out), it was maddux who was the only one already asleep! 

manning only woke up once in the night.  he had woken up and tried to get out of bed.  but he got tangled up in his blanket and had just laid down on the floor without his lovey, which is why he was crying.  i just untangled him and he got right back into bed and went to sleep.

either just before we moved into the house or right after, we bought some poppy flower wall decals for madelyn's room.  her walls are light blue and her bathroom counter is red (her choice during building) so i thought we would go with a red accent in her bedroom and the flowers were perfect.  but we didn't want to put them on the wall until we had moved manning out and arranged her furniture in a more 'permanent' set up.  i think the flowers have been a large reason for her counting the minutes until manning was out!  it was the first thing she wanted done once the crib was gone.

while she has said that she misses manning in her room, she is pretty excited to have somewhere free of boys.  it will also be nice for her to go into her room for some quiet after school (manning is often still asleep when she gets home).

now we are trying to make plans for bunk beds in the boys' room - maybe this summer...  love.
