With baby sister and Kindergarten coming soon, I decided to go ahead and make the switch and put the girls in the same room. In the last 2 weeks, they had shared a room at Nana’s, Blair’s and the hotel. It seemed logical to just keep them in the same room when we got home this week. They were both very excited and so far are doing great. It is actually easier on me too, though Megan is still in the crib. When I move her out, I have a feeling that will be a little more difficult. For the last few months, since the disappearance of “paci”, Megan has put up quite a fight at bedtime. She liked to scream at me as I left and continually call, “mama, mama”. Alyssa is usually good at bedtime, but liked to call us back in her room at least once to say, “I can’t sleep.” Or whatever else she could think of. But as of night #5, we have read books, said our prayer, sang together and then said good-night. I walk out and do not hear from them until after 8 am. Alyssa has slipped out quietly a few times while Megan slept, and the other mornings I hear them quietly talking. Alyssa will climb in bed with Megan and play. I love that they enjoy each other right now. I know it will not always be that way. Alyssa is so sweet and loving toward Megan and is just a great big sister. Think we can fit three in that crib?
Such cute girls! I think there’s room for three in that crib…
They are sweet… I think the third will fit in just fine! I am so glad that they like each other… and play together so well. It is also due to your good parenting! ; ) Love you ALL!!!
Hi Julie,
Thank you so much for your kind words. It is always so refreshing to know you are not the only person in the world with feelings like that. I am glad to have the opportunity to start back at the beginning of your journey and play catch up. The book that your mom suggested, “Mommy Please Don’t Cry: There are no tears in Heaven” was suggested at the perfect time and still remains a favorite! Thanks for reaching out to me after that blog…of all people, you can understand that there are those days that it just hurts all day.
Blessings to your beautiful family ~
Angie
