It Took Long Enough

But, finally, FINALLY, my children are sharing a room!! Aubrey hasn't had a room for the last 6 months of her life. She has been shifted from room to room but we were determined to try to make sharing a room work since we have no other option!

It's been a week and it's finally working! Wahoo!!

Tristen's been in his toddler bed for a while, just waiting for his little sister to take over the crib. We envisioned that transition being the hard part but quite the opposite happened. He loved his toddler bed from the second we introduced him to it in September and we were excited to put Aubrey in the crib starting in October when she started sleeping through the night for good. Or so we thought. All of a sudden, Aubrey decided to not sleep through the night. We were at a loss because nothing worked to keep her sleeping at night. A combination of her not being on a set schedule and being a very light sleeper created quite the interesting few months for us but our determination to figure out a good schedule for her paid off (and, the start of solids helped too I believe!). I LOVE not waking up every 4 hours anymore!!

She sleeps through the night....like, 12 hours....FINALLY!!

We're all getting sleep and she finally has a corner of the house all to herself. :)

Their room is anything but the "cute Swiss Family Robinson" theme room that I envisioned but now that she is actually SLEEPING in there, I have just a tad bit of motivation to make it cute. :) I'll MAYBE post pictures but don't get your hopes up too much :) It's nothing to write home about!!

All that to say, we are finally enjoying a Friday night without having to move the pack-n-play from one room to the other. It feels good....like I have freedom again :) HA, it's the little things that help you feel free again when you're a mom :)
