Yes. People. Your prayers were answered!
The bunk beds were constructed this weekend, the room was thoroughly rearranged and cleaned out, and the official beginning of what I have termed as "The Great Adventure" has begun. It began a little shaky in the construction department...
When Daddy and Papa started pulling all the pieces out to construct the beds, one of the headboards was broken. Never fear...Mama's here! I loaded it up and back to Mathis Brothers aka "Matches Brothers" as K-man likes to call it to replace the broken piece. Once I returned (with Sonic drinks for my men), the bottom bed was finished and Daddy had just about lost his patience of keeping the excited duo OUT of the room. Now Mama was home to put these excited lads to work. What better way than to use the new Spiderman sheets!
As Daddy and Papa continued their quest for the ultimate bunk bed building, the boys and I took out their new sheets and boy were they cool! Then, we put them in the washer because they were very stiff!!! ( I don't think K-man understood why we had to wash these, but he should be happy his Mama was raised right!!). Finally, I called my sister and she whisked the boys away for a playdate at Aunt Staci's while Mama and Mamaw did some major cleaning aka Operation Toy Sweep. We made it through the boys room and cleaned out J-Dub's old closet to get ready for Wy-boys new nursery. Of course, we did not complete our task in the nursery. But it is started and is a work in progress.
We picked the boys up from Aunt Staci's around 6:00 and K-man shot to his "new" room!!! This was the best bed/fort/clubhouse ever! And let me just tell you, J-Dub has no problem with that ladder. His favorite words right now is..."I climb." They spent the rest of the evening playing in their room. Here. is. the. good. part.
9:00pm Read books to the boys in the bottom bunk, pray, kisses, turn the light out, cross our fingers, and wait...
9:15pm Giggles abound while two little boys who play all day together discover the fine art of sharing a room, and we wait...
9:17pm K-man begins to get sleepy, J-Dub keeps saying, "Night Bubba!" and then proceeds to get out of bed (for the first time). Here we go.... Daddy puts J-Dub back in bed and comes back to the living room laughing. K-man tells his Daddy, "Dad, J-Dub keeps talking to me and making noises while I am trying to fall asleep." Eric tells him just to ignore him.
9:20pm We hear the pitter patter of little feet, Daddy looks at their doorway to see two bright blue eyes and a giant smile in the doorway of their room. Daddy gets up and J-Dub shoots back to bed!
9:30 K-man calls for Mama. I go in and he says J-Dubs crying. I sit by him on his bed and tell him it is time for night night. He rolls over and ten minutes later I am back in the living room watching t.v. with the hubby with two sleeping boys in their new bunkbeds!
1:30 am K-man is whimpering...he has to go to the bathroom and can't get down because we put up the ladder to keep J-Dub where he was supposed to be. I connect the ladder, help him down and check on little guy. He is not in his bed. I ask K-man where is Bubba. He tells me he went in the living room. I go in the living room and he is groggy with this fingers in this mouth. Pick him up, put him back to bed, all is well.
6:30am (No typo here!) I awake to a LOUD whisper..."Daddy, I am awake (because that's how it works you see....they go to Daddy's side of the bed! :) ) I open my eyes to Daddy's giggle of K-man and just a little lower right beside him....J-Dub. Now, Mama is smart...I told K-man to go turn on the t.v. and push 172 for Disney. That only lasted five minutes because I forgot to make the stinking chocolate milk!!! :)
Night #2
8:30 Read books, pray, kisses, yada yada yada, lights out
9:00 J-Dub falls asleep.
6:30am I wake the boys up to start the day.
Not bad for transition....
