Sharing a Room

Lately, Brock has been really scared of everything. He is scared to be in a room without someone, won't go to the restroom alone and would wake up screaming at night. So one day I asked him what made him feel safe besides mommy and daddy and he said Braxton. So we tried Brock sleeping on his nap pack in their a few nights and he did great. So Grandma and Grandpa were so kind to bring the twin beds they had in storage for the boys to use. They brought them over on Saturday and the boys have slept thru the night 3 out of the 4 nights!!! This may not sound great to you, but Brock has been waking up 3-5 times a night for about a month! My biggest concern was them waking each other up and so far that has not happened in the mornings at all. Sunday I went and found some awesome cheap dinsosaur bedding. Now I just need to take the wallpaper off and paint the walls. I can't wait until Spring Break when I will have time to finish it all up. I have a friend who is going to be painting pics for their walls. I can't wait to be able to post the finsihed project.



I have been putting the boys down early and they read books and talk for about an hour before we go lay with them.

Hey! Whatever works. I think it is a awesome idea to share rooms. Your boys are getting so big. They are handsome little ones.

I love it! I think it is great that they are sharing a room! Blake and I slept in the same full size bed until I was in like 2nd grade!!! Mom said that we did better at night if we were together.

How cute are they reading their books?!? I'm glad this is working out for Brock...we've been contemplating the same sleeping arrangements with another baby on the way.

That is great!! My girls started sharing a room awhile ago and I think it is great. We still can't nap together because they WILL NOT SLEEP, but night time is great! Just think what great roomates they will be one day for learning to share space at an early age.
