Kids sharing a room question
We have 2 rooms for the 2 kids right now. We have a room, and the "extra" stores our office and my home business stuff. We plan on keeping the baby in our room for a while and then figure we'd figure out which 2 kids would share a room.
Well, lately, DS has asked for DD to sleep in his room with him. He normally comes into our room between midnight and 3 am and says he would sleep all night in his room in DD was there, too.
DS has never been a great sleeper. DD is a wonderful sleeper - 7:15 to 7 regularly. I would love for DS to sleep better, but I don't want to mess DD up.
Right now, they both go to bed between 7 and 7:30, so we could easily do them together most nights and alter the story reading place on the other nights. It would require moving the crib to DS's room, which of course is a pain.
Should we try it? Are we just asking for trouble?
Perfect Timing for your question!
I just came online to ask essentially the same question. We have two bedrooms and baby number 3 is coming in July. DS is 4y3mos and DD is 26 months old. I have been worried about this for some time and hate the idea of DD losing her own room. I've been trying to think of it from the kiddos point of view (rather than my own desires) and think that they will probably love it. DH and I asked them actually tonight and both seemed very excited about the prospect. They both go to bed between 7-7:30 and are pretty good sleepers. DD is a better sleeper but DS says he would sleep better if she was there (he often comes into our room around 3am). Your posts make be feel much better!! :)
