We are in the process of moving our 3 year old son into his 20 month old brother's room as we transition his room into the nursery when #3 arrives next month. We have bunk beds in there and will eventually separate them when we move #2 out of his crib.We need some advice on how to move #1 into #2's room with as little disruption as possible for both of them.
Any advice is welcome!!

Kama is a stay-at-home-mom to 2 very active toddler boys and is set to have #3 of unknown gender in October. She is looking forward to delivering this baby at home. She loves sewing, quilting and crafting when she finds a few minutes and isn't dead tired!
I'm not sure, but we're doing the same thing here -- separating, merging, moving -- in anticipation of our fourth child coming home to us (we are adopting). Good luck to you!
ReplyDeleteWe're in a similar boat! I'm due with #3 in a few months. #2 is 16 months and sleeps in our room and often in our bed. Wakes several times at night still. #1 is in a toddler bed in his own room and still wakes at night. Dreading the waking each other up! Looking forward to reading the responses!
ReplyDeleteI know my girls are at slightly different ages but since we moved Jayme insisted on sharing a room with Carly. We put Carly to bed at her normal time (7:45-8). Throughout the day Jayme has a chance to earn "bonus time" for good behavior, helping out, etc. & uses it doing something with Jason or myself. This starts after Carly goes to bed & at the end of her "bonus time" we take her to their room & tuck her in bed. So far we haven't had any problems. Carly is always asleep & Jayme is usually out within 5 mins. (Only once has Carly popped up & caught us. We dropped down & army crawled out!) This has also cut out on Jayme getting up & down after she goes to bed b/c she doesn't want to wake her sister up! In the mornings they usually wake up about the same time & just talk to each other until I get there. Providing me with a smile as I walk in the room.
ReplyDeleteHang in there!
