Colby and Ethan had to be separated at bed time. The munchkins would not go to sleep and it was causing our nightly routine to take way too long. Once they are asleep I move Colby into Ethan's bed so they don't get scarred in the middle of the night. This started helping keep the boys from secretly climbing into our bed in the middle of the night. The boys were starting to get way to good at this! They would seriously tip toe in and sometimes crawl very quietly and slither up into the bed and not be detected till morning, finally Darrin and I had to draw the line and had to start locking our door. I felt horrible but it seriously was the last solution and the only one that worked. The first couple days were hard on them but they are now doing much better. Colby still wants to be moved into Ethan's room every night but he can never last the whole night. Ethan is a crazy sleeper. We have told Colby he doesn't have to sleep in his bed but he can't sleep in ours. The solution for Colby- moving around! Every night before bed we carry him into Ethan's room. Now once a night he will knock on our door and want to sleep in our bed, when we tell him no, he than decides he would rather sleep on the sofa in the living or family room. Odd, right? How can he be scared at night but be perfectly content to sleep on the sofa by himself rather than with his brother or in his own bed. I don't get it but it is working out the best!




Colby fast asleep, I was cleaning out somethings in the garage and had this bin in the hallway, I didn't even know it was being used for a fort until I went in to kiss him good night!

When my mom came down she gave each boys a mini flashlight, every night they fall asleep with them. They have so much fun with them and most nights I will check on them and the boys will be fast asleep with the flashlight on, and sometimes still in their hands. So adorable!
