Owen just has learned to tune him out. Hopefully, that will be the case with Emma! Don't get discouraged if it takes a bit of time. <br>Another thing that has seemed to help when putting them down together is I put on some music--a cd of relaxing soothing songs, primary songs, etc. That seems to drain out some of the extra sound from each other and they know when they hear it, that it is time to sleep. <br>Other than that--I think it just takes a little time for them to adjust. Eventually though, they will learn to settle themselves down again and go back to sleep when woken up by the other. <br>And look on the bright side--they will LOVE sharing a room. It has been so fun for my boys! Owen loves his roommate and I just love those occasional times when I hear them from the other room giggling at each other when they are suppose to be going to sleep. Sometimes I even catch Owen climbing into Emerson's crib and going to sleep with him!Lindsayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07515696405403686985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-867007113295281718.post-85280672770132797452008-02-06T08:38:00.000-08:002008-02-06T08:38:00.000-08:00here is my advice..."operation I never have t...here is my advice..."operation I never have to think about those things ever ever ever ever again" since my kids are 7 & 5! hehehe hahaha :)katie thttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02179149455712368602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-867007113295281718.post-33880217697736193312008-02-06T08:54:00.000-08:002008-02-06T08:54:00.000-08:00Wow, being a mom sounds pretty intense!

She is a very persistant little girl and I have still not gotten her to sleep through the night. You are the WOMAN! congratulations!The Basil'snoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-867007113295281718.post-72814138600547702722008-02-06T18:30:00.000-08:002008-02-06T18:30:00.000-08:00Thanks for all the advice Lyssa!! Sorry I don'...Thanks for all the advice Lyssa!! Sorry I don't have any to give back. How old is Kate anyway? My baby is 11 months old and we still rock her to sleep. She sleeps from 8:30-8am almost every night which is lovely but the bad part is we have to rock her. I love the cuddle time and she doesn't usually fight us but I would also like her to go to bed on her own so once we bravely decide to have another baby I don't have to rock Peyton for 15-30min. So do I just let her cry it out. My husband is usually the one that puts her to bed since I work most nights and he WILL NOT let her cry. She use to go to bed on her own but my husband got her into the habit of rocking her when she had the stomach flu awhile back. He has no patience. But I do think it is a must for her to soothe herself to sleep. So how long do you let her cry for? Does kate just roll over and go to sleep now without a fuss or what? Any advice would be great.

I am a firm believer in letting them cry it out and the Dream feeds (up to a point...I think you are good to try phasing it out now). You sound like you have a great head on your shoulders and are thinking of everything! I am proud of you. I am sure that the girls will do fine sharing a room. It will probably take some time for them to get used to it, but I am sure they will be just fine! Sorry I have no great advice for you, since I haven't had to do this one, but you can know I am thinking of you! Also, I am sure I'll need to advice in the next few years...so keep track of what you do (the student housing we are going to be moving into only has two bedrooms, lame, I know).Marc, Michelle, Jackson, and Bennetthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03357904089456313350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-867007113295281718.post-35918011961173783772008-02-10T17:58:00.000-08:002008-02-10T17:58:00.000-08:00I don't know if this will help any, but when B...I don't know if this will help any, but when Brooklyn and Cade started sharing a room I would put Cade down first and then a good 30 minutes later put Brooklyn to bed. It worked out pretty well. They go to sleep at the same time now but it was easier to split it up at first. Good luck!Chelseanoreply@blogger.com
