Sharing a bedroom

Sleeping, or should I say the lack of, has been a big issue in our house since Aubrey was born. For about a year we have finally gotten our kids to sleep through the night. In May we decided to have them share rooms. For the last five months one of us has been laying on their floor until they go to sleep. So, we finally put a stop to that. We had family home evening and talk to them about it. We even went into the bedroom and had them practice. The whole FHE totally bombed. They didn't want to listen to any of it. We were pleasantly surprised to find them like this when we went to check on them.

It was one of those moments that makes you love being parents.

So very cute! It's amazing...they really rely on each other so much. Even though they fight all day long, H & R are the same way.

That picture brought tears to my eyes. So, so cute. Have they continued sleeping through the night and going to sleep on their own? I sure hope things have been easier for you in the sleeping department!

That is such a precious picture! I bet your heart just melted. I say if they sleep and it keeps you from laying on the floor, go for it!

Oh, now that is precious. Hopefully its a solution that gives you a break in the evening from floor duty for a while. Good luck!

Ugh! Sleeping on the floor is one of those things probably every parent has done but never thought they'd have to do before they had kids.
