Big News - Big Boy Beds!

This weekend marked a very important event at the Hoffmeister house. Carson and Micah graduated from their cribs to "big boy beds". We had braced ourselves for a terrible transition since the boys are active to say the least but they have done remarkably well. They love to jump on them but we try to disuade them as much as possible. The key seems to be to wait until they are exhausted and it is totally dark outside because they can't see their way out of the beds.

Carson has learned to tattle on his brother and will sit up, point at Micah, and say "He up" when Micah is sitting or standing up. He also reports in when Micah is jumping - "He jump jump". Sunday evening after getting them settled, I came out of their room and was bragging to Randy on how well they had done when low and behold their door opened. Micah was peeking out and grinning with Carson right on his heels. Carson was pointing and saying "he up". They both then took off running through the house giggling along the way. They seemed so proud of themselves for breaking out.

Last night at about 1:30 a.m. I heard Micah crying. He had gotten up and opened the door. He was standing outside their doorway just spinning around trying to get his bearings. It was so pitiful. This was such a new experience that he didn't know how to find anyone. He settled right back in when I returned him to bed.
