Bed Time Update

So putting Lindsay and Laney down in the same room is still difficult and stressful and hard on all involved.  Lindsay likes to roam for at least an hour at night before she falls asleep, in some form of nudity usually, and then fall asleep in various locations throughout the room.  Laney who is hyper-vigiliant of everything and anyone, cannot fall asleep with a roaming sister.  So for now, the girls go to sleep in different rooms so they will actually go to sleep, and then we moved them into the same room together.  Sometimes Laney gets to go to bed in their room and sometimes Lindsay.  I must admit, it's easier to carry Lindsay to bed from a different room, but it's also better if she roams in her room instead of mine.

Then since they both call out in their sleep, they wake each other up throughout the night.  This results in Laney carrying Lindsay downstairs in the dark to me.  Where I kiss Lindsay, hug her, and walk her back upstairs to her own bed.  Repeat 1-3 times per night.  It's like having a newborn all over again.  I'm hoping they grown used to each other by the summer.

The biggest developement in our house (other than Laney's baptism-more onthat later when I have pictures with me) is that we are successfully potty training for #1, with #2 being a distant possibility, but a refusal for now.  She's going to get there, she just doesn't want to.  Since we are only 2 1/2 I don't feel a huge rush.  Lindsay can also sleep through her naps successfully and through most nights without accident.  I was putting her in panties at night because she would take off her diapers at night and so why bother? BUT now that she has awoken in the middle of the night to a couple of cold wet accidents, she likes to sleep in a diaper.  Now, during her evening roams she might remove all her clothing, but the diaper stays on.  Can't say if I'm happy or sad about this, but I am not pushing #2 or night time just yet.  She knows what she wants to do because she doesn't like sitting in a wet diaper either.  She will get there and so will we.  Our biggest progress to date: we made it through church in dry panties and through Laney's baptism in panties too.

I promise, mom, I will blog and post pictures of the baptism soon. :)
