Last weekend we set up the twin beds in Baby C’s room. They had all week to jump on them, lay in them and play on them. The novelty wore off by about mid week.
Yesterday afternoon after their nap I took them to the park while John took apart their cribs and set up the beds in their room. We skipped bath and brought them upstairs around 8ish to explore their new room. We had planned to gate their room so they couldn’t get into the closet/rest of the house but the gate caused a bit of a freak out so we locked the bathroom door and made sure the gate on the top of the stairs was closed. I had bought two Ikea wall lamps but of course one of them didn’t work so they also got a bedside table and a lamp.
By 8:30 we left the room. Emma dropped her water cup and couldn’t get it at about 8:45pm but other than that they were fine. They read until about 9 and then fell asleep. I was shocked - I’ve been preparing for badness.
They both slept all night, nobody fell out of bed and when they woke up (at 6:30…) we listened in the monitor while they decided to switch beds and read their books. They didn’t leave their room until I came and got them at 7:15. Again, I was shocked.
Hopefully bedtime will continue to go as smoothly.
We just put them down for their first nap in the beds. They’ve been fooling around for 20 mins now. I don’t think naps are going to go as well.
