What has happened to my baby girls??

Oh my, oh my! A few weeks ago my darling monkey, Elizabeth, climbed out of her crib and into her sister's. Since then Kent has been rarin' to put up their "big girl beds." I haven't been too anxious, especially since they haven't been climbing out. Kent insisted it's time, so when we go on vacation they will be used to it, and they will be able to sleep where ever we are. All right, it makes sense, but it's going to be rough! He is in town this week so I finally agreed! Just getting the beds put together with three little helpers was challenging enough. We pretty much had to BOLT the door closed and scream through it. Brayden screamed in every few seconds to report about something that was happening. Finally through sweat and frustration Kent said, "Are you bleeding? Then I don't want to hear it, go away and we'll tell you when we're finished!" (This made me feel so good, Kent normally has an endless supply of patience, but this was enough to send him over the edge. I thought, 'this is why I can never complete a task/project there is always someone needing/reporting/fighting/hurting'.....) Back to the project:
Bed #1 being assembled.

Bed #2 being "converted" from a crib to a toddler bed.

The final products! (I know, it would be nice if they were at least the same color, but we got the toddler bed at a twins sale for a good price. Now they have their "own" styles of beds. Although, so far, they have switched back and forth twice).

Everyone was very excited and had to test them out! The first thing they did was jump on them! Kent put a ka-bosh on that right a way, we'll see how long that holds!

They were so proud to graduate to a "new big girl bed."

Brayden had to show everyone how he is almost too big for this one, and he needs his full bed because he is such a big boy!

The first hurdle was nap time yesterday. We were able to use Ally's party (see previous post) as a bribe to stay in bed and go to sleep. They did great!

Last night was a different story. Ellie fell out of her bed and was shrieking, I think it really scared her. Then it took her a long time to settle back down. Then today at nap time she did the same thing, except she woke Dani up and it was all over. No more nap. EERRR, not so happy about that. I think we will have to go out and buy another guard rail. By the time Brayden was big enough to get rid of his, it was trashed. The saga continues......
