My independence.

Kids moved out!

After being pro co-sleeping for 3 1/2 years… 2 days ago, I moved my kids into their own room! I guess that there were several reasons for the move, mainly because I think that with 3 kids in the room, no one was getting enough sleep.

My eldest son actually wanted his own room! He is so excited about it… he is slightly spooked in the night when we tuck him in, but he sleeps there all night. The toddler is still unsure about the whole situation, at sleepy time he says “my room… mummy bed” So he is falling asleep in our bed and being carried over to his own… and he still ends up in our bed before morning time.

The newborn still shares our room, but now his crib is on the opposite side of the room, as opposed to being jammed up against my side of the bed… I think he might be crying for a bit longer now…

I feel lonely without them in the room… sad that I can’t see them from my bed… scared because I don’t know if they are ok… And they are just down the hall, what happens when they move out of the house?!

Would this new arrangement give us more sleep? After all… that is our main goal!

The best part though, has to be saying “go to your room!”
