New rooms

Saturday we went to Arbor Day at a local park for an hour or so but didn't get any trees this year- it was waaay busier than last year, plus we're out of room in our yard for new plants, haha. Beth decided she'd rather not play on any of the inflatable toys, so we spent the majority of our time checking out a fire truck!

And the big news... After Arbor Day on Saturday we decided to take action. We moved the guest bed to Beth's room (sans head- and foot-board), moved the crib and Beth's dresser to Luke's room, moved the glider out of our room to Luke's room, and moved the computer desk to our room. That night Ryan drove to Fry's and Ikea to get a wireless modem and a new dresser for Beth. By Sunday night we had most everything set up! I need to do some finishing touches, like move around/take down/add pictures and shelves on their walls but that will all come with time. Moving furniture around was easy- the hard part has been getting Beth to actually sleep in her bed.

It's not going so well. Our girl, who has been sleeping perfectly for one year now, is not transitioning so easily. Big girl bed = freedom, so she's not ready to go to bed when we're ready to put her to bed. It's been really frustrating for both Ryan and me, but we've been told to hang in there and she'll eventually get it. Hopefully sooner than later.

Luke, on the other hand, is doing awesome. He goes to sleep around 7:00-8:00 at night, so we lay him down in the crib and he's there for a few hours. When he wakes up after we've gone to bed, he comes into bed with us for the rest of the night, so it's sort of a modified co-sleeping deal. It works really well for us- this is the way we did it with Beth too.
