hello bunk bed

Tonight is the 3rd night Molly and Gabe have slept on their bunk bed! We spent all morning at the children's museum yesterday so Gabe was already asleep when I laid him down for a nap. Today was a completely different story during nap time. Although, because he didn't actually take a nap he didn't get out of bed at all tonight. I'm not thrilled that Gabe can get out of bed now, but I'm ready to say goodbye to the crib. We did (by we I mean Drew) put two side rails up on the bottom to make it more "crib like". I feel a little silly having the bottom completely caged in and not the top, but Gabe's still exploring his new found freedom and Molly isn't. So far night time has been uneventful. Hopefully naps will go back to usual as well.

Molly calls the top bunk her new princess bed. She glows every time she climbs up there.

I think Gabe likes the freedom, but he's never protested his crib. He got out of bed a couple times last night, but he wasn't sneaky about it in anyway. He would either come out to me or he would open and shut the dresser drawers until I came for him. I think he was just bored because Molly had fallen asleep first. Today during nap was a little different. Molly kept encouraging him and he was getting out of bed to hand her things. I probably shouldn't have them napping in the same room. At least until Gabe gets used to his new bed. It's just so nice having them nap in the same section of the apartment....
