Bedroom Mix Up

We had to move Cade out of his room to get ready for the baby. The plan has always been for Drew & Cade to share a room, but as the date approached it became a somewhat scary idea for us. Cade has always been an awesome sleeper. He goes to bed every night without any noise at all and sleeps all night through. It has been this way since he was about 6 weeks old. Drew on the other hand seems to get worse at sleeping every month. Bedtime has been an ordeal every night and has been very frustrating for us no matter what we try. So, thinking about putting Cade in with Drew has made us slightly panicked that our good little sleeper would be ruined.

Realizing that we had six weeks until the baby would be joining us, we made the leap over the weekend and moved Cade. It has been nothing but shocking really. The first night, Drew told Mitch how happy that he was to have Cade in his room because he likes to have people around him. We've known that he's always wanted us to stay in his room at night or sit where he could see us but didn't want to fall into that trap so we've left him on his own which has caused the long bedtime battles. Now with Cade in his room, we hardly hear a peep out of him and he only comes out if he has to go potty most nights. We do sometimes hear lots of giggling and jabbering and Cade can't even talk yet. I can't imagine what it will be like when they get older and can fully communicate with each other. Hopefully this is a sign that we will actually get some down time soon. I can't imagine having time to relax or accomplish something before I have to go to bed. Just in time I guess for another baby to join the mix and start keeping me up.
