Look who's sleeping....

...in big boy beds!!! Last Saturday we made the big switch and the boys love telling everyone that they said "bye-bye" to their cribs and are in big boy beds. We were not sure how this new-found-freedom would be for them, but so far, it has been working out ok. Dylan will still nap in his bed, but the other boys will just read a few books for some quiet time and then they come on out themselves and come downstairs. The upside of this no-napping for Andrew and Danny is that they are asleep in about 2 minutes when they go to bed at night. So far (knock on wood) no night-time roamers (although gate is up at top of stairs!). Such big boys!

And one quick update on Dylan: First, the potty training is going awesome! He is completely trained! He decided to do this himself, so he was motivated, and is just great! He lets us know when he has to go the bathroom, even if he has to go at night. Second, we are on day 7 of treating Dylan for Lyme Disease for the deer tick that was found last Friday. It all started last Thursday night when he woke up crying and saying his "hair hurt". It wasn't until later Friday morning when he was complaining again and my mom found the tick, pretty much submerged in his head. The doctor removed it, and because it was a deer tick, and on him for an unknown amount of time we decided to go the preventative route and treat him with 21 days of amoxicilian. In 3 months we will get his blood tested to make sure it comes up clear and will continue to monitor him (and be extra vigilant about future ticks!). Thankfully, he is doing fine!

Here are the cute bed pictures....
