What's Up With the David's: The Boys New Room!

With the impending arrival of our little princess, we knew it was time to move the boys to the same room. We've been wanting to do it since April but it was a process that both Christian and I dreaded because we knew it would disrupt the nights of peaceful sleep we had enjoyed for more than a year. So to excite the boys about their new living arrangements we gave them a CARS themed room. Ok, I swore I would never allow my kids to have any sort of cartoon theme at all. But if its one thing I learned about parenting its to never say never. Because if it gets them to sleep better in their room than I am all for it.

We officially pulled the trigger 3 weeks ago and I'll grade the boys a solid B-minus. It actually started off pretty good and Gav slept through the night the first few days. But from there it's been hit or miss. Gavin thinks bedtime is playtime because he's in the room with Jack so he's like a wild man. It usually takes us about 30 minutes to get them both settled. We're hopeful that decreases as Gavin gets used to his new surroundings! Some nights they sleep through and others they wake each other up. But overall I'd say it's gone better than expected. The boys love their new room and they love being in there together. It's really adorable to see them sleeping together. Check out their new digs....

Jack loves having a big kid bed! His Gigi and Papa helped us buy it and he is sleeping so much better than before - he was WAY too big for the toddler bed! So we gave Gavin Jack's old toddler bed and so far he loves it...

Papa Joey got the boys these authentic Disney CARS prints. I think they look great in the room and they also blend really well with the comforters...

We used the boy's letters from when they were each in the nursery. And I found a bookcase and some great frames from Ikea...one day I will fill them with pictures....
