Bed Swap

This weekend we switched all the boys around into different beds. Before this, Landon had his own room with a queen size bed. Kaleb and Cole shared a room with Kaleb on the top bunk and Cole on the bottom.

Here is Landon in his old bed. The reason for the switch was because we are trying to potty train Landon at night so we can totally get rid of the pull ups. But because Landon sleeps on a pretty nice bed that we sometimes use for guests, we didn't want him peeing in it. We have a cover for waterproofing the mattress, but you never know.

So now Kaleb has his own room, which he is very excited about.



Here is the old arrangement. Kaleb and Cole sharing a room.
Here is how it is now. Cole gets to sleep on the top bunk, which he loves. Landon is on the bottom bunk which he loves too. This mattress isn't so great, so if he destroys it we won't be so sad. Hopefully he won't.
It isn't often that parents make a decision that makes all the kids happy, but in this case we did. Kaleb is happy because he gets his own room that he can keep clean and keep his brothers out. Cole is happy because he gets the top bunk and is the big brother of the room now. Landon is happy because he gets to sleep in underwear like his brothers and be a big boy. We are going to try this arrangement out until the first of the year and then we will probably switch again. We'll see how it goes.
