Good night

Another recent change in our house is the sleeping arrangements. Back around the start of the year, Kahlil started to give us trouble at bedtime. He didn't want us to turn the lights out, he would get up a lot asking for water or whatever, and he would try to get us to stay in the room with him. He was really afraid and it was starting to become a problem. BOO!

Then by chance there were a couple nights when only one parent was at home in the evening so while we were dealing with Langston's bedtime, Kahlil asked to come in Langston's room and quietly lay on the floor... and he promptly fell asleep. After this happened several times, I asked him if he wanted to move into Langston's room permanently. He was VERY jazzed about that idea and thought we should ALL sleep in Langston's room. I talked him out of that, but we did move his bed such that we now have a 'bedroom' where both kids sleep and a 'play room' with all the toys. YEA!

So the move happens and Kahlil is happy. But then Langston wants to sleep under Kahlil's loft bed. With a mattress on floor, it's pretty similar to a bunk bed so we go out and get the mattress and Langston is all set up with a big-boy bed. YEA!

Turns out Langston is a light sleeper, which we knew. But now he can roam around the house in the middle of the night since he is on a mattress on the floor rather then in a crib. YEA... um, maybe not.

It really hasn't been too bad, we just have to be prepared to have a little body show up at the side of our bed at 2 am saying "up, please". Other than that, it's great to have Kahlil going to bed with out the worry and fight. And the best part, I think they like being together. YEA!!!!
