Sleeping Together

Princess Lolly and Princess Frostine shared a bassinet, next to our bed until they were five months old.   Then they shared a crib in their own room for a couple more months.   One little baby in a big crib just seemed... lonely.   They have never slept with their heads more than five feet apart.   I have never even considered separating them.   There have been many times when one had an accident, or needed some Tylenol and I would turn the lights on, change the sheets, pour the medicine, get a glass of water all while the other slept without even stirring.  It's rare that one will sleep in longer than the other.  They usually come into my room in the morning one right after the other.

When have a spare room that we use as a playroom.  It's connected to their current room by a Jack and Jill bathroom.  I figure one day, when we no longer need a playroom, one of them will move into that room.  Maybe not.  I'll let them decide. 

For now, it makes me smile when I walk past their room after they are supposed to be asleep and I hear their little sisterly whispers.  I tell them to hush and go to sleep, with no conviction in my voice at all.

Afterthought:  It often occurs to me that Gloppy is the only one in our house who has his own room and sleeps alone.  Maybe that's why I am never quick to take him back to his room when he makes his way to my bed in the middle of the night.
