Fruit basket turnover - Bedroom Edition

For the past five months, we have been telling Jackson, "When Philip turns 2, he will get to move into your room."

For the past five months, Jackson has been excited about Philip's birthday.

After much discussion, we decided to first attempt the co-habitation with the bunk beds debunked. Wesley situated the room and we tucked the boys in for their first night together.

Well, it didn't go so well!

Jackson was tired. Philip was not.

Jackson tried to explain sleeping to Philip. Philip just yelled, laughed and walked all over Jackson.

After an amazing display of patience (on Wesley's part) and persistence (on Philip's part), Wesley finally put Philip to bed in Philip's room. Once he was asleep, we moved him over to Jackson's room. That went great until 6:00 the next morning when a wide awake Philip woke up a sleepy Jackson!

They looked so peacefully when Wesley put a sound-asleep Philip back in bed

The decision was made: This was just not going to work! Luckily, a tired Jackson didn't argue when we said Philip wasn't ready for the move!

So, Thursday, while the boys were in school and I was at work, Wesley re-bunked the beds and set up the double bed in Philip's room. Jackson likes having his bunk beds back and Philip likes his new set-up with a larger bed!
