Bedroom Shuffling

We've been trying out some changes at night around here. We know that Andrew can't sleep in our room forever, so at some point he will need to either share a room with Jenna or one of his brothers.

We also always figured that once Ryan was older, he would move downstairs to the guest bedroom. Ryan has recently expressed interest in sleeping in our downstairs guest room, so we did a trial run this week. He did really well and stayed down there every night...until last night. Something fell and broke in the room around 2am, and after that he was too afraid to sleep by himself. (Can you blame him?)

If at some point Ryan commits to moving his room downstairs, Andrew could share a room with Lucas. I think those two would have a lot of fun sharing a room together! But that's a little ways down the road. We would have to wait until Andrew is big enough to sleep on the bottom bunk.

So then we thought maybe Jenna could share a room with Lucas now, and let Andrew sleep in her room. He's such an awful sleeper, I don't want him to share a room with a sibling and keep them up all night. Jenna has been coming into our bed every night for the last month, so we thought sharing a room might make her feel safer.

 So for the last couple nights this silly girl has slept on the bottom of the boys' bunk bed, with Lucas on top. She started out okay but ended up in our bed both nights.

We were going to try Andrew out by himself in Jenna's room, but now he is sick so the timing isn't good. So basically we've been doing this big bedtime shuffle with no good results. Our goal is for everyone to have a place to sleep, and for everyone to actually SLEEP!
