We thought it would last a couple nights so blew up the air mattress for Eitan next to Lev's crib. Three weeks later, we realize that this isn't going to fly. They want to be together, and after a few mornings of Eitan pulling Lev out of his crib- ending with a thump- it was time for a plan.
So down out of the attic came the matching bed to Eitan's- a pair that our house's previous owners left and I painted together knowing one day we'd want them together, and if you're doing one bed, might as well do the second if you are as anal as I am and want to ensure a perfect match.
Over the long weekend we got them new matching bedding, a rail for the babe, and moved some artwork around and other things so it would feel like their room, not just Eitan's room with an extra bed. There's still work to do finishing in there, and Levav's clothes and everything still are in his room, but as of a few minutes ago, they're together.
Some shots of the mini room reveal...
And so Eitan didn't feel left out (total first kid that boy):
