Owen in Sissy's room
Parker and Jack in Jen's back bedroom
Jen and I in twin beds in Dave's room
Ben in pack-n-play in Dave's room
If and when Dave has been in town, we (with Ben) have bunked in with Park and Jack in the back bedroom. Ben has slept very well and those guys are used to sleeping through some noise since they have roomed together since the womb. With his teeth coming in, we have had some rougher nights waking up a few times here and there, so we decided to switch it up. Also, due to the anticipated move for the 3 older guys to bunk together so Ben can get out of our room and into his own room, we decided to test the waters at Gaga's house.
Owen, Parker and Jack went to bed at the same time, and all woke up at the same time. We expected some chattering in order to fall asleep, but they were quiet and fell asleep almost immediately. Owen was so excited upon arising, however, that he jumped so hard on the bed, that the hardware came out and the mattress came crashing to the floor. Wakeup call ~ 6:15am. The next day, Owen and I were out during naptime, so naps weren't an issue and the second night went good as well. Jen and I were getting excited as this potentially meant that this could work at our house and we might soon have our room back when Ben moves out.
Then naptime on Sunday came. Owen is still in a crib at Gaga's house so we weren't quite sure how this would play out since he can't just get up and walk out of the room. Well, he was singing, yelling, etc. and nobody was headed toward dreamland. This is NOT GOOD. 45 minutes later and 3 visits to calm everyone down, P was asleep, but J and O were still up. Finally O had to be removed in order to not wake everyone up and went without a nap. While this isn't the most terrible thing in the world as he only naps about 3-4 days a week at home, Jen is alone in BR and trying to take this on at our house might cause her to have an aneurism if they all don't nap…
Needless to say, we haven't permanently moved any beds in BR, but we have plans to continue this in NOLA and get them used to their new shared room.
