a place of his own!

when we moved out of our house in july we took down alex's crib.

because we were moving into a 2 bedroom townhouse - and because it was for such a short time - we left the crib down.

we started alex out in the pack n play
and eventually switched him to a mattress on the floor.

THEN ... the time came to move into our new house and we decided to keep the crib down.

because of this - alex became our roamer.
he sleeps all over.
some nights he sleeps in drew's room.
some nights he sleeps on our floor.
(he is NEVER in the room we planned to be his.)
he spends most nights in ben's room.

we realized that ben is happier with him in there
(which i don't understand because alex NEVER stops talking!)
and alex doesn't ever want to be alone.
SO ... we decided to make it a permanent thing.

as of tonight alex has his own REAL bed.
he and ben are officially roommates.
he was very excited
he went and found every stuffed animal he could -
quickly told each that they were his best friend (not joking.)
and then threw them in to bed.



he was even so excited he was asking me to take pictures!




now if we could just get him to stay in there all night.

not holding my breath.

I hope that worked out on friday! how fun is that?! Remember when you were worried about sharing rooms and who was with who and who would feel left out with 3? haha I think things seem to have worked out so far?
