We started trying to get him back in his cribs w/ naps which I talked about in this post ----> sleeping arrangements
Well last night we tried with bed time and it didn't work :( (We tried a few times in the past few months but not as gung-ho as lat night). We talked off and on for the hour leading upt to bed time about how he was going to go ni-night in his crib just like he does for naps, that sissy would be there too and he was going to be a big boy! He was enthusiastic and all for it...until bed time that is :) He didn't freak out or cry but he did whine a little. We just kept explaining things to him and eventually we were able to leave the room. The next 35 min consisted of them jumping up and down in their cribs while laughing and talking! Cute, yes but also frustrating! We were tired and just ready for them to go to sleep. We took turns going in and after 1 min they'd be at it again. It was pushing 10:00 (way too late for bed time) so we separated them and Kaden went to sleep in our room. Tonight we tried again and it was perfection!!! We did nothing different, except maaaaybe promise him a milk shake tomorrow :) They both went right to bed, not fighting it in the least and no talking or playing or anything of the sort! It was unreal! We both got a little pouty when we realized this is most likely the start of a new phase. I am suuuper sentimental and will with out a doubt miss him in our bed! But, he's 2 so it's a good time to transition. We'll see how the rest of the night goes and the nights to come :) So proud of my lil bubba right now :)
I don;t have any pictures of them sleeping tonight to add to this post bc hey, I would be crazy to try and take a picture and risk waking them! But here are a few cute ones from this week (all cell phone pics which is rare of me!) :)

This post made me laugh. I know this all too well as my boys share a room and love to giggle and jump around together :) Everyone always said I was crazy to have them share a room. And much to their surprise they were wrong. One cries the other sleeps through it. One laughs the other sleeps. It's sometimes too easy! They grow up too fast :/
YAY! You are supermom!
I love that they share a room. My gf at work has boy/girl twins and they share too. She said its amazing because when her son wakes up in the middle of the night crying, her daughter just sleeps right through it. What a cool bond twins have!
ha, love it. my buddy has twins and another boy a couple years older. most nights he sleeps with them and often, one of the kids wanders into their bed to sleep with mom. i didnt get how precious it was until i babysat them and, for the kids, it was unthinkable for them to go to bed unless i cuddled with them until they were sleeping. and i realized, how beautiful it was. what a special family time people with strict sleeping arrangements were missing out on. of course in thailand (i lived there once, you know, world traveler that i am) families all sleep in the same room. im sure space in bed is nice too though =) all to say, here, here. do what's right for your family! but grats on his taking another step in life, too =)
you and Molly always shared a room from he womb until you were 13. Remember that? We moved to Las Vegas and for the first time you each got to have your own room. At first you both thought that it was perfect. But then at night for the first two weeks, when we would go in to get you up for school, one or the other would have gone down to sleep on the floor in the other ones room!! LOL!! Eventually you were able to sleep in your rooms alone, but you two always had to spend time together before bed. LOL!
gosh, i hope peyton will learn to sleep through brady's screams and vice versa! it has always terrified me to have mine share a room, but if we are still in this house when we have our 3rd...the boys will have to!
