Derek and I have had a child in our bedroom for over 2 years. Alice was born and she stayed with us until about a year. Then she started waking up at night and seeing us and wanting to be with us. It didn't matter if it was 10 at night or 2 in the morning, if she saw us she was up for the day. So naturally room switching was in order. We tried moving Alice and Jude into the same room but that didn't work either. Jude was a little binky theif and would steal her binky at all hours of the night, waking her up. So that didn't work either. We tried moving Jude into our room and that worked really well. He was excited to be having a sleepover with Mom and Dad, and Alice was able to sleep uninteruptted. Jude has been our room mate for about a year now. Alice just turned two and no longer has a sippy or a binky. Nothing to steal. We figured it was time to try both kids in the same room again. We usually ease on into these things but tonight we just went for it. We moved Judes bed (which he wasn't happy with at first) into Alice's room.  We tried to make it as much of a party as we could and Jude turned around. He was getting excited. But Alice was a tough customer, she wanted the room to herself and kept asking Jude to leave. When it finally came time to turn off the ight and shut the door she was very upset. She was crying and crying, but Derek and I were going to give it a couple days of before we threw inthe towel. We kept hearing "it's ok, ALie don't cry, here" coming from the room. And after about 1/2 an hour Alice calmed down and the room was quiet. About an hour later we went to check on the kids and they were both conked out. Jude had given Alice every book he had access to and a huge stuffed dog. Somehow she had still managed to fall asleep. We fished out all the books, and set both the kids up comfy. I'm glad to say that now they love it. The adore being roomates, I can hear giggles well into the night. I think they are bonding over being "naughty" mom and dad say it's time for bed, but they are still up laughing and playing. Derek and I have decided that as long as they are in that room and no one is crying that they can do just about anything they want. We are just glad, after two years, to have our room back.
