7:30 p.m. Sleepless nights seem to be the norm around here with Jared, but today we moved Ava to Jenna's room. Jenna has been a little afraid of her room at night, so I'm hoping it will help now that she's no longer alone in there. Adjustments to the bedtime routine need to be made, Ava goes down earlier, and I usually read and/or lay with Jenna at bed time. This will be interesting. Jared is moving to Ava's room. Here's hoping that will help his sleep (or non-sleep) situation. I got all of Ava's clothes switched to the "girls' room." That just sounds so cute to me. I am even more eager now to turn Ava's powder pink room with butterflies and flowers into a boy room! Know anyone who's looking for a girls nursery decor set? :)
8:30 p.m. I started this earlier and am just getting back to it. Well, sleepless nights seem like they'll continue to be the norm as Jenna and Ava are awake making each other laugh and talking/yelling at each other. It is the cutest but also the most frustrating part of my day! We threatened and almost took Ava out to go back in her room and Jenna had a complete meltdown with tears and "Don't take her, she's my friend!!!" How could I take her out at that point? Lance has given up and gone to bed. I'm giving all I have to not rip into Jenna right now and take Ava out. Jenna is singing, "Sing, Sing, Sing" by Chris Tomlin. Ava is yelling back at her. Jenna is telling her words to repeat over and over. Ava is throwing her pacifier and blankets out saying "uh oh." Then silence? Ava is egging Jenna on, will she take the bait? One minute record so far...
9:30 p.m. Update - Lance can't go to sleep, he moved Ava. I stayed out of it, but Jenna is crying "Don't take away my sister, please bring her back." I'm crying too but didn't let her see so she'd think me and Lance were in agreement. :-\
Go to bed Carebear! They are making memories. I would have loved to have that.
ReplyDeleteI think its just because its new. They will get used to it and not be as excited to jibber jabber all night. Its the weekend mommy!!!!!
ReplyDeleteLet them make the room theirs -- In my family, we were 5 girls in our room -- eventually we all fell asleep -- Lance, learn girls are girls, and are so different and just need to talk to each other every night -- it's probably not going to change much -- they are building a bond of sisterhood -- but you can instruct on the use of whispers because other people are trying to sleep -- but if you keep going in -- they will never learn to be in the same room while falling asleep -- have papatience --
