has brought us to this:
That's separate bedrooms folks! While it is absolutely adorable that M&A want to sleep in the same bed together, it is not restful for ANYONE in the house. Sometimes we hear them having a party in their room at 3:30 in the morning and other times they are sleeping soundly until Aidan rolls over and squishes Maddie resulting in lots of crying & screaming.
We had pretty much always planned to separate them after they turned 3 anyhow. And we did order their big kid bedroom furniture a couple of months ago. But we just couldn't hold out for the October delivery date & had to move Aidan's crib ASAP.
After anticipating some major separation anxiety issues, I think I had a harder time with this than they did! Both went almost immediately to sleep in their own beds in their own rooms and we all slept through the night - ALL THE WAY THROUGH!!
And the best part is how happy they are to see each other the next morning at breakfast. Some mornings they hug & kiss and other mornings they tell each other they missed each other. This morning Aidan slept in and Maddie refused to eat anything until he joined her at the table.
Ah, the twin bond has survived the new sleeping arrangements...
P.S. - If Aidan's room looks a little sparse, it's because we didn't have time to decorate before the big move. Lots of really cool design plans in the works. And lots of pink for Maddie's room.
