Officially Under Construction

We decided that we needed to move Sean into his big boy room as soon as we were ready so he could have a chance to settle in before baby comes.  We don’t want him confusing his room with the baby’s nursery.  I wanted to make the transition fun for him but also comfortable so we kept all of his furniture (crib included – he thankfully still likes being in there) and just moved it upstairs.  Let me tell you, I’ve agonized about this for months now - worrying that he would be scared upstairs, we wouldn’t hear him if he cried at night since our room is downstairs (the fact that we have monitors never seemed to occur to me), his sleep would be all messed up, he would keep trying to go to his old room…. you name it, I was awake at night worrying about it.  Now, one could argue that I was awake because I was getting up to go to the bathroom every 2 hours, but I digress. 

So we painted the room, got Sean some new bedding, toys, pictures, etc. and once everything arrived we decided to make the big move upstairs over a weekend.  I’m happy to report that not only does Sean seem to love his new room, but he didn’t skip a beat.  One thing he’s really taught me over the last year and a half is how resilient kids are, especially compared to their parents! Sean seems to take major changes in stride while I’m in the corner in tears biting my nails – ha!  Guess I can learn a thing or two from our little guy.
