Musical rooms (instead of musical chairs)

Saturday we took apart and put back together the crib so it could be moved into the kids' room. We got a blow-up bed for Carolina so she could sleep in our room until the baby adjusted to being in her room.

That afternoon, she came down with croup. That night, it was really bad. But, luckily, the kids were sleeping in separate rooms so they don't both get sick. It was good she was already in our room so I could check on her.

AND EVEN BETTER HE ONLY WOKE UP TWICE.  Papa has been going in to give him bottles and now they're best friends. He woke up last night at 12.30am, like the night before, killed the bottle and then not a peep (again) until 5.30am. We let him cry on/off until 6am. That's the rub. Getting him to stay quiet until 6am. We're not doing anything earlier anymore. Once that's more settled, Carolina can go back to her room. I'm hoping he relents by this weekend. But he's not going to win this one. Not this time.

And naps are going better, too. I'm relieved. As usual, I wish I'd allowed the change to happen sooner and glad that I got out of the way. Keep baby out of mommy's room and EVERYONE sleeps better.

Hooray!!!!!
