Casen's Big Move













We got A LOT done this weekend in preparation for the baby. We still have lots to do for the baby's room, but we got Phase I done: Casen's Big Move.

Case moved into his new room yesterday. Daddy and Bunny put together his new big boy bed. Once it was all together, I exclaimed, "It looks like such a big boy big!" My mom replied, "It is a big boy bed!" While they worked on that (with Casen's help), Mom helped me go through a bunch of stuff for storage and cleaned the laundry room.

We were nervous last night - wondering how Case would take to his new room. As soon as we started moving his toys into his new room though, he understood. He went and got other toys and brought them down there. We also played in his room with him. Josh took a nap on Case's new bed. Case loves when we come into his room and lay on his bed. Sometimes he will lay with us; sometimes he just plays and talks to us while we are on his bed. He slept the entire night in his bed. I woke up a lot (thank you pregnancy and a cold) so I checked on him throughout the night. I straightened him out whenever he was twisted around too much. He never fell off though (we have blankets down to cushion his fall just in case). Today he took a LONG nap in his bed and never twisted around. We'll see how he continues to do, but so far so good. He might have to readjust when the baby arrives and is sleeping in his old crib, but we'll see. For now, we are really thankful he is so excited about his new room and bed.

We still have to put up the rest of Casen's decorations in his room. We also have to build his closet, and then we'll be done.

The baby's room will probably be done by next weekend I think. So little Baby Boy, if you hang on at least another week, your room will be ready, and Mama will have all her grading done and finals written.

His new room looks fabulous and it is awesome to hear he's taking to it so well! I can't imagine everything you guys are experiencing right now, but I am so excited for you! Keep us posted girl!

Yay for Casen!

Jim and I have talked about moving Lily to a big girl bed when she turns two... but I just can't imagine it now. She squirms around so much in her crib, I can't see how she won't end up on the floor... or spend all night playing instead of sleeping! :)

He's going to love his new room! He's going to feel like such a big brother!

What a big boy! I'm so glad he's doing so well with the changes so far!

I was worried about that too alyson - he ends up reversed in his crib.

but the covers keep him straighter and the safety bar has helped. we do check on him thru the nite right now and straighten him out if he gets crooked.

i'm hoping he doesn't fall out - i'm sure i'll blog about it if he does : 0
