William took a nap in the big bed and did great. He got out of his bed once to say he needed to pee. Not because he had to, but because that is Tre's routine... to go to bed and immediately run to the door to say he needs to potty. Jack put him back in bed and that was the end of that. Yay for William.
While William was napping I took Tre to the store to pick out new sheets to get him excited about sleeping at the top. He picked out the most hideous Transformer sheets you have ever seen, but thankfully, he has a plain red bed spread to cover them up :) We got William some Cars sheets and he loved them too!
Tonight we had a small celebration for William's birthday. Frankie and Roger and their two kiddos came to McD's with us and then we came home for presents and cake. They had fun and we were all playing with William's new train track when Tre, all of the sudden proclaimed that he wanted to go to bed and wanted the lights off. What hospitality on his part... John Parker was still playing in there! Anyway, they took that as their cue to leave and Tre was so excited about his new bed all tucked in before they even walked out of the door.
They are still up there chatting up a storm but we are letting them be excited about their new beds. In a bit we'll go up there and get them to calm down.
Here is a video of them having a little fun with Jack. By the way, we have two video cameras up there so that we can see both.
Happy Birthday William! I'm so glad to hear you had a positive experience because I'll be doing the big boy bed and potty training when I get back home. I LOVE all the giggling in the video! They look like they are having a blast.
ReplyDeleteChristene, we had a positive experience with both boys from the crib to the bed. I don't know if it was luck or they were just ready. Last night they giggled until they fell asleep. It warms my heart with how much they love each other! Potty training...well, that was a different story. Tre wasn't potty trained till he was almost three. William seems a bit more mature than Tre was, so hopefully it will happen sooner and easier!
ReplyDeleteThis just made my morning! Such cute gigglers!
