So far, so good!

I shouldn't even say anything, because everytime that I do...the kids prove me wrong.  But so far (knock on wood) this big kid bed thing is going so much better than I ever dreamed.

Nap time today, nap #1 in big kid beds, went ok.  Took me 25 minutes to get them all asleep.  Not too bad for round #1 right?  And they all slept for their normal 2 hours.  One thing I wish I had was a video monitor.  Anyone have one they want to loan us for a while??!!  I'd put them all in bed, walk out, close the door & stand right outside the door so I could hear what was going on in there.  When I heard someone out of bed (this is why it would have been nice to have video so I didn't have to guess what was going on) I went back in & put them all back in bed, without saying a word.  It was a LONG 25 minutes before they gave in & zonked out.  By the last few times I went in, they knew what was coming.  They'd go running & jump in their beds.  Or if they were standing in them, they'd quickly lay down.  Finally... sleep.

Tonight.... they crawled right into bed.  Kisses.  And they were alseep without a peep.  I was simply amazed beyond words!!

The only downside... their room is always a DISASTER!  There are a few toys in there & a storage cubby & everything is everywhere instantly!  Triple toddler tornado!  Their closet doors are locked at least.  And I have latches on most of their dresser drawers.  Besides the toys, they can only get to their shoes.... which are scattered all about our house now.  And their hamper.  I need to find a new home for their hamper.  Today there was dirty laundry EVERYWHERE.  And I almost threw a CD in the laundry, not sure how it got there, but it did!
