The Girls are Officially "Bunkmates" Now :)

I moved Rose into Madison's room last night. I was so nervous about how it would go, but it went as well as could have been expected! Tim and I spent much of the evening chatting with Madison about how Rose would be sleeping in her room, and that she needed to be a big girl and be quiet and stay in her bed no matter what ;) 

I forgot to get pics of them in their room together, but I will post some soon. I really would like to get their new name plates up and organize a few things first. so here are a few I took of them the other night after we decorated for Christmas!



I put them both down at the same time (around 7:30pm) and there was some noise from both of them for a little while (maybe 15 min) until they both fell asleep! Then I snuck into the room at 10:00pm to get Rose for another feeding. Maddy woke up and was confused - but Tim just comforted her and explained that Rose needed to eat. 
Then Tim snuck back in around 11pm to put Rose back down. Maddy woke up again, but I just told her Rose was going back to sleep and tucked her back in. Rose and addy cried for less than a minute and they both fell asleep again and slept until 7:30am!!! I am not sure who woke up first, but I heard Maddy talking first, so I went in to get her and she was still in her bed and Rose was awake happily kicking in her crib ;) I am sure there will be some tough nights ahead - but not a bad start. 
Praise the Lord!

so glad to hear that it went well. Sounds like you had a such a good plan to have Tim go in with you to talk to Maddy.
I like the picture from behind of the girls looking at the tree. What a great angle.
