Last night Nate spent his first night in a PROPER cot. He outgrew his crib and though he is not yet sleeping through the night, we had no option but to move him out of our bedroom (the cotbed is too big for our room). It was the plan from the moment we found out that baby no. 2 was going to be a boy, that both the boys would share a room.
So as I said… last night was Nate’s first night sleeping in Ollie’s (‘The Boys’) room. He looked SO tiny in the big cotbed… he had grown out of his crib so much that he was nearly the length of it… the cotbed made quite a difference!
I settled Nate and while Nate was falling asleep, I climbed into Ollie’s bed and read him a story (I had to whisper the story to him so as not to disturb Nate). I told Ollie how big a deal it was having Nate in his room and how important his job as big brother is. Ollie was so excited and pleased to have Nate sleeping in his room… he kept sitting up and peeking at Nate saying “Nope… not asleep yet”.
I got the ‘hearts gonna burst’ feeling twice last night. Once when I was leaving the room and telling Ollie I loved him. He was lying down in his bed, grinning at me and then waved and as I was shutting the door I saw Nate sleeping soundly. The second time was when I was going to bed, after I had fed Nate… I had settled him back down and both boys were alseep… and I could hear their sleepy breathing. Everything in that moment was so perfect and lovely. It was a definite ‘living my dream’ moment.
Those boys fill my heart each and every day and even though some days are filled with teething grumpiness and tantrums from the two of them… it’s moments like this that make me realise just how lucky I am.
So sweet! We used to always say we didn’t want kids, then it was “only one!” but it’s things like this that make me want a sister for my little nugget. So glad I found you! Following you on twitter, instagram + interest
And thanks so much for linking up with us! Hope to see you next time
Oh my, this brought tears to my eyes. My youngest is 4 months and he is just about too big for his bassinet. I’m not looking forward to the day that he can’t fit into it any longer because that means that its time for the crib and his own room. eek.
So glad that your boys are together. I’m sure that makes it a bit easier.
This is so sweet. I have 2 little girls that have shared a room since the day the second one was born. There is nothing sweeter than sneaking in to check on them, and finding them snuggled up together in the same bed.
That is lovely! I want babies quite close together and really hope that they have a bond like this x
Love this post and beautiful pic!
Awwww, I have moments like this too that bring tears to my eyes. I am so proud of my children. My little boy is still in our bedroom but he has his daytime naps in his cot bed in his room as I thought that would help him get used to it. He too looks so tiny in it. I know I will be really sad when he goes into his own room properly. I’ve loved having in with us just as I loved having my daughter in there when she was a baby.
