First, the pacifier fairy swung by for a pick-up last Wednesday. I've been dreading this transition and we made it through! I will admit that it was less painful than anticipated and that I'm happy all has smoothed over with missing their good ol' comforting pacies.
Second, the boys are now sharing a bedroom. Gabe and Will have been asking to have sleep overs with each other for months and reminded me that the deal I made with them a couple weeks ago was that once they get through the pacifier transition and sleep well without their pacifiers, they can share a room. Gabe called Jon and I on this last Saturday. So we did it because we said we would.
This has been quite an adventure. So far I've loved it and hated it (mostly during the times they're supposed to be sleeping but decide to throw a party ... the kind that includes emptying the clothes in their dresser and using it as confetti -- let's just say they had a 40 minute exercise in which they learned how to fold clothes and put them away). But I mostly love it, partly for the sweet memories I recall from sharing a bedroom with any one of my sisters and partly for their sake and what it's teaching them about sharing, being flexible and a host of other qualities that I won't share b/c I just want to go to bed.
The main reason I'm sharing this info is because of these sweet photos of built-in bunk bed ideas I came across after my dear friend Natalie passed on a link regarding kids sharing bedrooms. We don't have bunk beds yet, but I'm guessing we will in the future! G + W are already talking about it.
Here are a couple of my faves from said photos of built-in bunks.
