Day Two in Our Big Boy Beds!

Jason & I knew bedtime would be easier than naptime. Mason wanted to sleep on the floor so I got him all settled down there. Alex was happy to be tucked into his bed.

This is how I found them at 9:15 pm.

And this is how Jason found them at 6:00 am.

We're big boys now! Mason & Alex have decided to start getting out of bed all by themselves. First they were going back and forth between cribs so I decided to let them try a nap together to see how they would do.

They started out in Alex's bed...

They completely emptied out Alex's crib and this is how I found them, in Mason's crib.

On Sunday we tried a new approach for naptime. While the boys and I were at church Jason took the railings off the cribs. Better for them to get out of bed easily than to get hurt climbing over. An hour & a half into naptime, this is how I found Mason. His feet were up on the wall and he had a little tin bucket tucked into the crook of his arm. Alex fell asleep against the door so I wasn't able to get his picture.

Future Scrapbookers!

Alex found some of my stamps so we spent a little time stamping before lunch. Alex was really into inking the stamps & then stamping as hard as he could. Mason stamped a little bit but he really preferred to take the stamps off the plastic, line them up on his paper and then put them back on the plastic (on the right spot!). I realized afterward that while the ink wipes off hard surfaces easily, it didn't come off hands, legs or faces nearly as well.

Mason, Alex

Look at those hands!
