My Boys Are Growing Up

We took Prophet and D.K.'s bunk beds apart this evening. The only other time they've been apart was after the wreck when Prophet couldn't climb the ladder because his arm was in a sling. They have now decided that they want separate beds and are willing to give up the floor space to have them that way. There room looks so different. I've gotten so used to having that tall piece of furniture on one wall and now it looks so bare on their walls!! This also means that the dinosaur costume that's been hanging on the end of the bed for the last three years (long since been outgrown by the giant that is D.K.) has now been relocated to his new home on a hanger in the closet. This is indeed a sad moment for this mama. D.K. has, however, refused to give up any of the 28 animals that presently share his bed with him... yes I meant to write 28, I just went in there and counted them as he slept. Prophet is having a hard time falling asleep tonight. He's been in bed since 8:00 and he still hasn't fallen asleep, it's now 10:55. Could be that's he too close to the floor, or I guess it could be the Robitussin I gave him for his horribly runny nose before he went to bed. That stuff always keeps me awake, it must be doing the same thing to him. So he's awake, but on the bright side, his nose finally quit dripping!!
