We had company staying with us in January and use Brielle's room as our guest room. We'd planned to have Brielle sleep in our room, but on a whim we decided to try her in with Josh and just see how it went. We had the Pack n Play set up in our room and were ready to pull the plug at any point. After a few duets of the ABC's, some strobe light action from the light switch, giggling, and Josh repeatedly saying, "Brielle, momma said, 'Go to sleep!'", combined with quite a few reprimands from me and Daniel, they finally went to sleep and slept through the night!
We don't put them together every night yet, just depends on how badly we think they need to go to sleep right away. And, there are still many shenanigans going on in the room. They just aren't very sneaky either because it would be okay if they were up whispering and giggling quietly, but instead they're jumping on the bed and singing "Jesus Loves Me" at the top of their lungs - their song choice makes it kind of hard to charge in a dole out discipline!
Anyway, we are proud of our big kids and how well they are doing sleeping together (that is once they actually fall asleep)!
