Twins get Twin Beds

     The dreaded day has come for us parents where we have to take down the cribs.    The comfort of knowing your babies are safe, secure and sleeping peacefully are about to be the thing of the past.   The days of putting the twins down at 7pm and going outside to visit are about to end.   Right after turning two, both boys started climbing out of their cribs non-stop.    We didn't want them to get hurt so we took them both down right away.   We couldn't even do the transition phase into big beds like we did with Brooklyn because it was getting to dangerous having them up.     Down went the cribs and up went the twin beds.     The nightmare begins...
     Day one in the big beds went great - to great to believe it.    They went down at 7:30 and did not get out of their new beds once.   I thought to myself that this was way to easy especially with two at the same time.   Well I was right because the next day the nightmare began with them.   It took us 2 hours to get them to sleep.   We must have put them back to bed 500 times that night.    Then they both woke each other up an hour early the next day!   The start of getting way behind on sleep begins for the boys.   
     The next week is still taking us 2 hours a night to get them to stay in bed.  Nap time is a complete joke now.   They both are exhausted but as soon as the bedroom door closes, the party begins for them.   Last night, Cole pasted out in bed right away but Tygh was still awake.  As soon as I closed the door, Tygh started yelling out "Cole, Cole, Cole" and then went to his bed and started jumping on it.   I opened the door and now Cole was awake.   I put them both back down but now I had two of them going crazy again for another hour.   Needless to say, both Mommy and Daddy are wiped out!!!  
     It's been a week now and neither one of us are having any luck with naps or bedtime.   Brooklyn only took one week and she was trained.   Having two of them constantly feeding off of one another almost makes it impossible to get them to sleep.    I really don't know what to do.   If this continues much more, I am going to relinquish my Mom title and give it to someone else!     Dorian will have to find someone else because I am so close to throwing in the towel.   If anyone has any suggestions, please feel free to give them to me.    It's a good thing they are so darn cute.   It's the only reason I keep coming back for more punishment.

Cole snuck into Tygh's bed when we were not looking.
