Breaking News

A few weeks ago we moved Jake into his own big-boy bed, and last night he slept in it ON HIS OWN from 7 pm until 5 am. This was a huge milestone for him (and us!) and hopefully by blogging about it I won't jinx us.

Our sweet boy has not been a very good sleeper since he was about 1 week old and we had lately begun to doubt that we would ever sleep uninterrupted for more than 4 hours. Hopefully it wasn't just an April Fool's joke, and this is the beginning of many good night's rests!


Haley and Jake were very helpful while assembling the bed frame.



Jake tests it out - he was thrilled to have his own bed, and has insisted that we read stories on it every night instead of in Haley's room. For days after we set it up he walked around saying, "My bed! My room!"

Below, Rob and Jake relax after all that hard work. The polka-dot sheets are ones that Haley picked out when she first got a big bed (she's since moved on to pink flowery sheets). As soon as Jake's bed was made, Haley ran to her room and brought Bofa the Bear from her own bed for Jake to have, because she knows how much he loves it. The room still needs some paint and decorating, but at least he's sleeping in there!
