Aiden Moves to a Toddler Bed

We lucked out that the boys had stopped trying to climb out of their bed and were therfore able to keep them in their baby beds. Well, Aiden started climbing again, and there was no stopping him this time. We took the front off the bed to make it a toddler bed.



Since Wes had just put the casts on at this point, Mom and Dad kept Alex a little while as we were getting adjusted to helping him. Aiden cried and cried the first couple of days. I gave in out of exhaustion and let him fall asleep in my bed but then brought him back into his. The next couple of days, he fell asleep in his bed, but after a long while of playing. As Alex came back at night, it has been an all out play-fest.



Alex has not been able to get out of his bed yet, but as long as they are laying down, I have let him try to sleep either on the floor or in the bed with Aiden - they actually get along sometimes - hehe.


The first night Aiden climbout out of his bed, he ran to the living room. I put him back in his bed. He got out again and ran to sit on Daniel's lap, after all, he could not go put him back. I put him back again. The third time he ran straight to my room, went in the bed, and fell asleep. I did not check on him until I knew he was sleeping - about 3 minutes later.

This picture is from tonight. Alex wanted to sleep with Aiden. They were sleeping in the same bed, but obviously that was a little too cozy for Aiden tonight. He got out of bed and left the bed for Alex. When I opened the door to check on them, Alex opened his eyes. When he saw the camera he said, "Cheese." Too cute! And yes, that is a Noonie in his mouth. He found one and has been asking for it all of a sudden. The only time he ever really took them before was when he did a breathing treatment, but as he has been taking them now, I don't give one to him. I will hide this one in the morning - I did not have the energy to take it away tonight. I think he only wants them cause I take them away.
