Roommates

We bit the bullet and did it tonight, we moved the kids into the same room.  The plan was to move Anya in with Lucas 4 months ago, when she was 4 months old.  But she has been waking up almost every hour her whole life, so the though of dealing with an infant AND a grumpy, woken-up toddler throughout the night did not appeal to us.  For the last two nights Anya woke up only twice, so we decided that that was good enough.  Plus, Anya has been sleeping in the office in a pack and play which was getting warped and saggy (she's almost 20 pounds).  I figured that that wasn't good for her back, plus I wanted the office back.

The decision tonight came a little too close to bed time.  Between changing the crib sheets, moving the crib up, changing Lucas' bed bedding (peed during nap), moving the changing table out to make room for the rocker, and moving the rocker, Lucas climbing in the crib, getting his leg stuck and twisted, Anya screaming... it was kind of crazy.  We sang the song, kissed the kids goodnight and walked out.  Anya was still screaming and Lucas was sitting in his bed with a very worried/annoyed look on his face.  But as we waited outside their door, the room grew silent within seconds.  Both kids drifting into sleep.  My mom says that babies can feel the physical presence of someone in their room, so they feel more comfortable and comforted.

Now that the office is free I can actually get to my pictures.  This is the gem I found from the beginning of March.  Anya caught in the act of puking.
