Bennett's Room

The other day I realized that Bennett has been in a big boy bed for a full year already! We moved him out of the crib and to the bed last July (thank you blog for keeping track for me!) so that he would be adjusted by the time Ashley came for the crib. He was in his bedroom upstairs and shared the room with Ashley for about a month. Once everything was done in our basement, he got moved downstairs in February. I was hesitant to do this but it was necessary. The kids were on different nap schedules and, Bennett kept wanting to climb in the crib to 'play'. So, he is in the bedroom downstairs by himself. He doesn't seem to mind being down there though. He goes to bed just fine most nights. He doesn't like the bed rail anymore for some reason so I haven't put that up for a few weeks now. There for awhile he would make his way up to our bed in the middle of the night every single night. He is much better now though and he only comes to sleep with us a time or two a week. And he's so good at it now that he climbs in and doesn't even wake us up! He usually goes to bed around 8:30 and sleeps until about 7:30 in the morning. And thankfully, he still takes his afternoon nap from about noon till 3:00.

Here are a few pictures of his new room. The bed and bedspread are the same he had in his room upstairs. The curtain valance I was able to get for free at Kohl's cause of a coupon and a gift card. The monkey picture was from the dollar aisle at Target. I couldn't really get it in the picture but in this room is also a dresser, a few shelves for toys and a toy box.
