Oh, how sweet!


Well, today I will brag a little! My little girl went to sleep over at Nana's house last night. I told her JB sure would miss her when it came time to go to bed. They share a room. So she told JB, 'JB, I am going to sleep at Nana's house tonight, so don't be scared ok?'. He said 'Ok'. After she left, JB started to ask for HC and he wanted to call her. We called HC and JB told her, 'Wuwu Stister'. (Translation - Love you Sister). It was so sweet! My eyes were watering and my heart full! She replied with, 'Love you brother'. That was that.

When it came time to go to bed, JB was not happy. He is still in a crib because he hasn't tried to climb out yet, so why not. HC is in a toddler bed. JB climbed in HC's bed and said, 'My bed'. So, out of our effort to get JB to go to bed willingly we asked, 'Do you want to sleep in sisters' bed?' He said 'Yes'. So he did. We shoved the bean bag up to the side of the bed and tiptoed out of the room. We peered through the crack in the door and he didn't move at all! We were expecting him to get up a few times but he stayed in bed all night and didn't move an inch. He didn't fall out once. I guess we are going to transform his bed now too. The test will be, can they stay in their own beds when the temptation to play comes on them! We shall see! But we had a milestone of my baby boy getting bigger and my kids showing love to each other on their own. I felt like we ended yesterday with a family win!

We also had a small group today and we have a babysitter come to watch our kids. JB had to go alone today for the first time, HC wasn't there to lean on. He was a little hesitant but he walked in with great courage! But if you see HC, don't tell her because she loves to go to these little 'meetings'! That will be our little secret! :o)

too sweet! We put Grace (2yrs) in a toddler bed about a month ago and now she comes to the side of our bed to get in with us. I love it but Tommy is ready for his space back and her feet out of his face!! I get her sweet face next to mine so for me it is ok! Children are such blessings!

That is so sweet. Isn't that the dream--to have your kids in love with each other? Love it!

How sweet! My kids share rooms, too. I think it is an invaluable experience. So glad he slept so well in the big kid bed. Funny how the big transitions have a way of working themselves out.
