Toddler Beds

We decided to change the big girls from their cribs to toddler beds. Since they are climbing out of the cribs anyway we figured this is going to be safer. So, Tuesday evening Matt and I got their toddler beds set up. When I talked to them about what we were going to do they seemed really excited. But once we moved the one crib for G4 out of the way and started turning the other crib into a toddler bed they didn't seem to happy. At first G1 was not happy that we were giving "his big boy bed" to his sisters, but he got over it quickly (the white bed is the one we got for his 1st birthday).

After we got the toddler beds all ready G1, G2 and G3 jumped around on the beds for awhile. Once it was time for bed G2 was not happy at all. She screamed for quite a while. G3 did like she always does at bed time and just laid there looking around, chewing on her "Happy" thing.









This is what I found when I went up to check on them before going to bed myself (G2 fell out of bed right after I took this picture):
This is what I found when I went up to check on the girls tonight. I couldn't even get the door open wide enough to get through. (This is G3 by the way.)
After G1 and I's eye doctor appointment Thursday we went into the optical part of the office to order my new glasses and pick out Matt's safety glasses. G1 helped try some on.
G1 and I both got our eyes dilated. G2 and G3 enjoyed playing with the sunglasses things that I got to protect my eyes from the sun.
Oh, yeah. Aunt Marcia came up for the day to watch the girls so Matt could drive G1 and I to the eye doctor. We had a lot of fun with her.




This is what Matt found when he got home from work last night. Normally the kids are in bed no later than 8 but last night I needed to get Marcia to the train station and when I got home and got the kids in G1 wanted to cuddle on the couch. I was okay with that so he went and got all of their blankets and "Happys" (yes I know that isn't spelled correctly but "Happy" is the name) and we all laid on the couch and fell asleep. (The above picture ^^ was taken after Matt picked up G2 and then decided she needed a diaper change. Her legs are filthy because they had suckers and got all sticky and I just didn't get them cleaned up.)
Matt decided that was a perfect opportunity to take a family picture. He's a silly guy. :-)

  1. I am so happy that the G's are using their blankets!! I thought they might just be something that got used when needed. But looks like G3 took it to the door with her. Yahoo! I hope they are settling into their big girl beds. I am sure the new freedom was exciting for them.

  2. Eeesh. We're thinking about the toddler beds, too. I love that G3 fell asleep blocking the door, funny! That's a very cute picture of you and the kids asleep on the couch.
