Making room for 3, 4, & 5!


Last night was a big night at the Auge house and Tim moved Tommy's bed into Charlie's room to make room for the babies. Tommy does not favor change and has been pretty reluctant when we've discussed the idea of moving into Charlie's room since he is so proud of his own basketball-themed room. His little world has been turned upside down during the last few months with me being on bed rest, so we wanted to make sure that he was comfortable and excited for the big move across the hall. Last night he expressed a slight interest and we decided to roll with it and get things moving before he changed his mind! For the first night, we granted their request and let the boys sleep side by side. We soon realized that compromise would be needed since Charlie sleeps with the door shut and light off and Tommy needs to fall asleep with the light on and the door open. Charlie often needs to jam to some tunes to fall asleep and Tommy likes the silence. We did a slight staggering of bedtimes to make this work and everyone was happy! Overall, the boys did great, slept well and enjoyed sleeping in their "big boy baseball room" together!
Here is Tim laying with the boys - enjoying the idea that the bedtime "process" (prayers, books, tuck-ins) will take 1/2 the time with both boys in the same room!
