Rock star kids

I'm loving our bunk beds way more than I thought I would because it has transformed my kids into rock star sleepers!!

When Brody was in his crib/toddler bed he would usually sleep until 5-6am and then join us in our bed and sleep until about 7/8am and then watch tv in there until Jacob woke up. Now, he sleeps through the night until 8/8:30.

Jacob used to play in his room at bedtime for a bit and then go to bed when he was sleepy and wake about 8/9am. Now, he goes to sleep right at bedtime (8:30pm) and sleeps till 8/9.

And drumroll.... When Austin slept in his bedside bassinet he would wake about every 3hrs and sporadically give us a good night here and there. Now, Austin has been sleeping 8 even 9 hour stretches at a time in his crib!! We've only had one night where he woke up every 3hrs since moving him. His bedtime is a little off though, we usually don't lay him down until 10/11pm, but then he stays asleep unitl 10/11am (with a feeding around 7am).

I'm sure it won't last. The novelty of the bunkbeds is sure to wear off. And eventually Austin will start teething or going through some growth spurts and start waking frequently. But in the meantime... I'm loving it :) Who cares if bunk beds are impossible to make... I only have to make them every 3-4 months anyway, right? ;)

The other funny thing is how much Jacob loves sharing his room so far. Anytime I say "It's in your room" or say "Jacob's room" he ALWAYS corrects me and says "Jacob AND Brody's room"!
