Sister Bed

This week we started an experiment: the Sister Bed. Clara had been wanting to sleep in Molly's bed. Molly wanted to get in the crib with Clara. Clara was gearing up to climb out of the crib anyway. So, we put a mattress on the floor and declared it the Sister Bed!

Sister Bed Rules (posted on the wall above their bed)
1. No pillows on faces.
2. If your sister cries: Talk or sing softly to her. No Yelling.
3. If you're scared: go quietly to mama & daddy's room. Or poke your head out the door. No Yelling.

So far it hasn't been any worse than the previous setup. And it's incredibly sweet to listen to Molly talk to Clara, and see them sleep together.

This morning Clara ventured out of their room on her own for the first time, and tonight she tested that boundary again. But Zach's got a real good handle on them. (me, they pull all my heart strings and I end up spending an hour coaxing them to bed).
