We are officially bunk bed owners! WOO!!

I was doing my friend's hair one day {Marion Minnich, RS Pres in our ward} and we were talking about my boys and she asked if I plan on them ever sharing a room....I said YES. I then told her I was in the process of trying to find a bunk bed for them and she said, "well I have one in my garage you can have!" PERFECT! $50 later, and help from the amazing Ashton's in our ward, the bed was ours set up in the boys room! WE ARE IN LOVE WITH IT!

I'm not going to lie, the first time Brend climbed right up there and stood up and started jumping I nearly passed out. We have a rule NO STANDIN ON THE TOP BED, EVER. It has worked so far, no scares yet! They love it, they are so entertained by it, and the best thing of all.....Brend sleeps in it SO WELL! The first night he was so excited but I just expected the worst from him. He only came out one time, and Brock and I only had to go break up the playing and laughing once each. Then they slept all night! Tonight is night 4 and every night has been perfect. Brend has got out once. He has even taken his 2 hour nap all 5 days and stayed in bed then too. MIRACLE! I did not expect this from him. The stubborn, spitfire boy he is I thought it was going to be a nightmare. I was WRONG.

Here are some pics from the first morning they woke up together:

They were darling! And becoming such good buddies. 

 We obviously don't have bedding for Brendon yet, working on that. So I just grabbed every little blanket I could find to make the best padding I could.

Just a few things about the boys and bedtime:

Co finally doesn't have to sleep with his blankets, one on each side of his face. He doesn't even sleep with them at all. Lately Co has been not wanting to sing a song, he just says, "Mom, could we just talk for a bit?" Melt my heart. LOVE HIM.

Brend isn't really attached to ONE thing when going to sleep other than THE BINKIE. He does have to have blankets to snuggle, he has about 4 that he chooses from. He also sleeps with a little penguin Uncle Jaden and Aunt Tiffy gave him. :) I'm ready to be done with the BINK, but oh man, that's going to be a tough one with this boy. I guess he may suprprise me again! 

    

YAY for bunk beds!!
