06/13/2009 Displaced

Today we cleaned up Euitag's room (formerly Lacie's and now Lacie's again) - dusted, vacuumed, moved Lacie's furniture from Paul's room back over, made up the bed, put a bed rail on it, made it dreamy and Lacie is ready to sleep back in her own room. (or at least she says.)

We also rearranged Paul's furniture, put up a big boy bed (a twin iron bed we got on sale and used to hold us over till he sleeps in his other big boy bed - a high off the floor antique) put on sheets, put up a bed rail, etc. Paul is now asleep in his bed.

Keep in mind that Lacie and Paul and I have all co-slept for over a year on a twin and crib mattress pushed next to each other -

Now both are in a big bed, and I wonder where I should go. Either way I am doomed. I will be playing musical beds for a week or more as we all adapt. I think I should sleep with Paul cause he is so young. Lacie however is trying to be very brave. And there is my husband who has sacrificed a year of sleeping alone in our brand new queen size pillow top mattress/bed. REally - why would he want to share now?

So - I think - where do I go?

I know tomorrow I will be buying night lights for both rooms. Their lamps produce too much light but now that they are trying to sleep alone they need some light.

I am proud of my kids! I LOVE my kids!

Blessings!

Good luck in the sleeping department.
