Last weekend, we ventured to IKEA to purchase a bunk bed for Jack and his new room in the basement! Jay spent most of Sunday afternoon assembling it. Jack spent his first night in his new bed last Sunday night and it's been a WHOLE restful week since! He's done an amazing job down in the basement, staying in his bed til morning 5 of 6 nights! He feels like such a big boy being down there by himself. There are a few catches, of course. 1) One of us needs to stay downstairs watching TV until he's sleeping. (This usually isn't a problem for Jay, but last night, he went to the RAC to run, and I was stuck staying up later than I would have liked.) 2) The bathroom light has to stay on in the hallway. Both "catches" are doable--we're sleeping much better, so who cares!
Because Luke isn't being interrupted in the night by Jack coming to bed later than him, and/or waking in the night, he's done much better this week too! They're not waking each other, which means they're not waking us! Success! Who knew moving Jack to the basement would revolutionize our sleep! And I was so certain my "baby" couldn't be down there......
Here are a few photographs to document the project:
Jack is so proud and excited!
Jay's still surprisingly calm after hour two has passed! (He said it was relatively easy to put together--just time consuming!)
They played up there all evening. Luke wanted to jump off the top, and Jack just didn't want to get down!
