The big boys room got some attention this last week. We (ok, Jason) made a low shelf/bench to hold a few toys and shoes, and it fits perfectly under their trash truck print (bought it on Instagram from Jaime Street Photo). The storage bench idea came from here. The boys really love it and zoom their cars on it, and it currently holds a collection of books they enjoy reading. We took the plunge earlier than I first planned, and switched Asher to a big boy bed. He so wanted to be like Noah, and he was very excited to have a big bed, and has done very well with it!
The first few nights: At night he stays in it, while he and Noah sometimes laugh and talk a bit, and throw their stuffed animals at each other, and in the morning he will get in and out while collecting books or toys to play with. But no escaping the room! He is following his big brother's lead, and Noah does not leave the room for any reason. He doesn't even leave his bed, and always makes sure I know that Asher got out of his bed. :)
Currently: The boys are WILD!! With the first night of them going crazy wild at bedtime, throwing hard toys at each other, stuffed animals, etc... I had to put my foot down the next night, and talked to them and warned them if I had to come in to the room to correct them... well I didn't hear a peep out of them that night, and since then they have been good. In the mornings, on the other hand, throwing anything they can at pictures on the walls, the fan, jumping on their beds like its a trampoline... having fun but makes me nervous! Asher is prone to hitting his head pretty good.
I made two matching duvet blankets for their beds, out of a queen IKEA duvet we have had for years. It was double sided, so I cut it apart, and down to a twin size, and sewed a white sheet to both, for the underside of the duvet. Their room is pretty simple, most toys are in the play room, and I think that is a good thing for wild Asher. He likes to throw, in play and in anger, and Noah has gotten the short end of the stick many times! The less in the room to throw, the better. ;)
