Growing up is hard to do... and so is watching it happen! :(

OK so I'm going to bounce around a little and tell you a random story, mkay, stick with me.

 My boys have always, and I do mean ALWAYS, have shared a bed/space to sleep. You might think this is weird. Trust me I've heard the lectures about making sure twins are "INDIVIDUALS"  and you should always give them their own room and own sleeping space and their own clothes etc. etc. HA, LETS GET REAL OK!  They are about as different as 2 kids could be!

When the boys were younger there wasn't a whole lot of options for little boys baby clothes that were cute and DIFFERENT. So I dressed them EXACTLY alike though I swore time and time again I wouldn't do that to them. But really there wasn't much other option.

When they became toddlers and very independent toddlers I might add. They thought they HAD to dress alike because that's what they always knew. So it was a HUGE temper tantrum any time they didn't look exactly like the other. (AWFUL)

As they grew out of that so much they were OK in the store picking out different yet similar items. (For example 2 monster truck shirts of different colors.) lets rephrase that statement. They were OK with that until it came time to actually wear it then they'd pick one shirt and fight over it, So horribly bad I'd take a second trip to the store just to stop the future arguing.

They have now hit the stage of not wanting to look anything alike some days and others they want to match. Sometimes when asked if they are twins they now tell people no that they are just brothers. I know this is normal. It's just so sad to watch them grow up so fast! 

OK back on track, like I said they've always shared a bed.

We've been from this:

to this:

to this:

Isn't their room nifty! It's probably the single most awesome room in my house. I'm a little partial  I admit but that's because I DID 99% of the work on this room MYSELF! :) (practically everything glows in the dark!

To this:

Now sadly we have reached another stage in the sleeping arrangements :( They no longer want to share a bed. They want separate beds. They'd prefer different rooms, but sadly that isn't an option at the moment so they'll just have to stick with my decision on what type of bed. My husband and I were torn about having them a bunk bed because they don't sleep in one place. They tend to helicopter around the bed. So, me being a paranoid mother, was freaking out at the idea. but there really isn't much room for 2 traditional beds in their room either. So this left us with a dilemma, what do we do? One day when browsing the web I found THIS bed:

Of course in the space theme bedding.

So with that said my boys in just a few short weeks will be moving to the next stage of life.

Can we please go back?????????

*Sigh*

I knew it was going to happen one day. Luckily they aren't teenagers yet. Come see me next week  and they probably will be. (that seems to be how fast they change anyways!)

I guess the saying is true "Time Flys When You're Having Fun!"
