We're on top of things

Growing up as a kid and sharring a room with my brother, it was bunk beds that we had as kids. I think its a given that the oldest gets the top bunk. For one if they fall out, perhaps they'll take it better than the younger.

The goal is to not fall out of these things and actually get some sleep. The real goal for us is to get the younger child to start sleeping in her own bed for us.

Perhaps sharring a room with big sister might help us with this. I'm sure its going to be a challenge and hopefully my oldest will adjust and get the sleep she needs. For one, she is going to school and she'll be hating things if shes tired.

In addition to this change, we are taking Guest room and turning it in the a Play room, perhaps that will mean all toys will stay in that room and not scattered around the house. Yes, things always look good down on paper, but we can dream and have a plan at least.

The time is now, reclaim the house and certain rooms for ourselves. Draw the boundries and lines and at least provide them with reasons they'll feel and enjoy their new surroundings as well. Hopefully they'll be fine sharring a room for awhile. At least long enough to get the little one sleeping on her own.
