Cribless, Day 2
Tonight we went to IKEA to look for toddler beds. They didn’t have the ones we wanted and it might be a month or more before they get them. Boo. But, we ran the boys all over the store in hopes of tiring them out. That plus the boys not sleeping much the past 2 days (yesterday there was no nap with Drew constantly climbing out of his crib and today we were picking friends up at the airport during their usual naptime, not that they would have napped with their new bed arrangement anyway) I was hoping that we might have a better sleeping night than last night. And we did! Yay! The boys played around in their room for about 45 minutes with only a few cries here and there (probably toy stealing!) and then they fell asleep.
They don’t seem to have figured out that they are supposed to sleep on their mattresses, even though they’ve been using them for the past 20 months. They are using the mattresses as pillows while the rest of their body is on the floor next to it. This evening I went up to help Bran when he woke up crying, he settled quickly, another Yay!. But I noticed the cutest thing, the boys have a shelf with cloth boxes that we have toys and books in, Drew was covered with 2 of them, one on his back and one on his legs! Only Brandon could have done it. 
I guess he was tucking him in. I was so happy with how well they went down. Hopefully it will only get better as they get more used to this new arrangement. Our next challenge is to find 2 new beds. Let’s see how tomorrow goes…
