Sister Slumber Party

Aurora LOVES to climb up into Acadia's loft bed, crawl under the covers, and "go nigh-nigh". Of course, it's just for play; she never has actually slept in Cadi's bed. But that sparked something. Acadia began to ask if Rori could sleep in her room. I didn't think that was a good idea since I didn't want Rori sleeping in the loft yet and I knew she wouldn't sleep quite as well in a playpen in Cadi's room as she would in her own crib. So, Cadi moved onto another, more doable idea. Could Cadi sleep in Rori's room? She kept asking on school nights so we kept saying no, but this weekend she asked again and we figured, hey, why not give it a try?

So, two nights ago, Cadi made a bed on Rori's bedroom floor and they had a slumber party together. They both went right to sleep and slept perfectly all night. When it was time to get up for church, Rori got up quietly, letting Rori sleep a little longer. It worked so well that when Cadi asked if she could do it again last night, we said yes. And once again, it worked out really well! We aren't about to have them do this every night, but now we know that if they want to sometimes, it works. :)
