First Night

Well Annika's first night in her own room went very good. She was thanking me all afternoon yesterday saying, "Thanks mom for my new room!" She is so excited! We read our bedtime stories on Annika's bed which was nice. It took the girls a while to fall asleep though last night so I had to rub them to sleep. I don't blame them. I think with Annika it was just so exciting that she couldn't sleep. With Erika I think with Annika out of their room she might be feeling a bit lonely.
This morning our alarm didn't come on but the girls were up and playing at 7:15 which woke me up in turn I then woke Darren up(he was a little late). When the girls heard us talking they came running in our room and Annika said, "Daddy do you want to see my new room?! I will show you! Come on!" So she takes off running to her room with daddy following and when they got there she said, "Ta da!!" It was the cutest thing!
I am trying not to make too much of a big deal of it though because whenever I do say something about 'Annika's new room' Erika right away comes to me and talks about her room, so I also have to get excited about Erika having her own room too. I don't know if I am being weird but I don't want her to be left out.
They have tons of room to play now between the two rooms which is also a bonus!
But here is a lesson I have learned. I should have split them up to their own rooms sooner. I hope they can go to sleep on their own tonight.
Darren wasn't mad at all. I think he understands why I did this. And now when Erika feels the need to get up at 3 in the morning and play, when she isn't supposed to, hopefully she won't wake up Annika.

Holy crow! I have been chekcing your blog pretty consistently, then you go and post 3 times in a row, and I gotta catch up!
The room changes must be something in the air, 'cause soon we'll be changing Tate's room to where Trevor has his comp. room. Computers, they gotta just go somewhere else.
