Will Moves In

 Ever since Christmas we have been talking to the boys about becoming roommates. We wanted to give Will time to adjust to the big boy bed before baby #3 makes his/her arrival. Two weeks ago Nonno and Nonna came over and unbunked the beds in preparation. Max has been all excited a bout his roommate moving in. Will has loved playing in the big brother room and reading stories in his new bed. We let Max pick the date for the big move. He even wrote 'Will Moves In' on his calendar. We have been doing everything we can to help Max feel like he has some control in this whole ordeal, after all it is his space that is now being shared. 


Well, today was the big day and both boys seemed to be really excited.  Nonna and Nonno came over for dinner and to make the night more special.  Will didn't take the best nap today and was super snugly with Nonna so we thought it was time for bed.  Both boys seemed super excited and we headed upstairs for jammies. 

 

The boys got dressed and even shared some snuggles together in Will's new bed - and on a side note isn't the quilt too cute :)  That is the one I made for Will this summer. 

 

So far we are about an hour into the new sleeping arrangement and in all honesty isn't isn't going too well.  Will still hasn't gone to sleep.  We have read him stories, rocked him, and even laid in bed with him.  Max was super sweet and tried to climb in bed with Will to let him know it was okay.  Unfortunately Will kept standing up and jumping and Max got annoyed and declared he was going back to his bed.  Max started complaining that Will was keeping him up, so we moved Max to our bed for the night.  It seems like we need to get Will settled into his bed first.  Hopefully we are just in for one or two tough nights and things will improve.  Will is actually a pretty great sleeper, so hopefully that will continue.  We will see. . .
