New Room and New Beds

Emmy is now sleeping in a big girl bed!! I swore that I would keep her in a crib as long as possible, because when we switched Zane, we had a hard time keeping him in his bed. But she's definitely ready and I think she's going to do fine. Plus, we figured if we move her out of her room now, she'll have some time to adjust before the baby comes instead of right smack in the middle of the hard part.

This weekend, we got to bring the kids to my mom and Dave's house for a few days while we stayed home and organized our basement, moved and organized clothes and baby stuff, and switched rooms around. We also put together the new bunk beds that Zack's parents got for the kids. It felt so amazing to have time to prepare everything and also to relax and spend time together. I even finished reading a book that I've been reading for a while.

We surprised the kids yesterday with their new room and they loved it to say the least. Zane was going crazy, saying how much he loved it and that it was the "best room ever!"

They actually did pretty well for their first night in a room together. While in their beds, trying to get to sleep, they read books, wrote in their journals, told each other they loved each other lot's of times, snuck out of bed once (this was ZANE's idea and he told Emmy to be quiet and she told on him when they got busted), chanted in unison they were hungry and wanted a snack, chatted and laughed a bunch, and then Emerson tried to climb up her safety rail and hit her mouth and got a bloody lip. It was pretty eventful, but luckily they were both so tired that they fell asleep by 9:00. Not too bad.

Here's a video of them getting in their bed - they had already seen it by now so it wasn't a surprise at this point. When we went through clothes, we got out a few sets of fall pajamas, so they're both wearing really warm pj's.

Here's their room
They love playing Angry Birds on the ipad. LOL.

They got to spend some time writing in their notebooks before they fell asleep.

My big girl!
Zane reads for at least 15 minutes every night by himself before he falls asleep.

Here are some pictures of the new baby's room...
