About the sleeping...No, Matt isn't sleeping on the couch and neither am I!! We put Taylor in her 'big girl bed' back in January and it was great for about two weeks! Then she started sleeping on the floor, crying (screaming) at her door, etc. We really wanted her to sleep in the big bed so we could start putting Jordan in the crib. Needless to say, Taylor went back to the crib, Jordan stayed in her bassinet, and we all went back to good (well as good as it can be with a baby waking up to eat) nights sleep!! Recently, we realized Taylor HAS TO get in the big bed! We have started with a mattress on the floor...she loves it! We switched her lock so we lock it from the outside and she cries for about 10 minutes for us to 'pat her back' or 'say more prayers' but eventually she climbs back in bed, covers herself up, and goes to sleep. Jordan has been moved from her bassinet to the crib! Yeah!! First nap time in the big bed ended up being a huge mess in her room...she had every drawer emptied, every toy on the floor, every stuffed animal thrown off the bed, etc. Oh well, I've moved those since, and it has been much easier for her to SLEEP during nap time! So, everyone is where they should be...and it is working....kind of! Jordan still wakes up once in the middle of the night...and the kids bedrooms are right next to each other...are you getting where I'm going with this??!!? It hasn't happened yet because I've been fast about getting in to feed Jordan, but I can see it happening...Jordan is going to wake up Taylor...I'm sure of it! How has everyone else made this transition?? I'm sure Taylor will get used to it and just sleep right through it, but until then, do we just let Jordan wake her up?? I guess we don't really have another option...THIS TO SHALL PASS!
Here are some pictures of Taylor's room after naptime...I'm not sure how much napping she did, but she sure was quietly having fun!
