And then there were two in the bed....

...and the little one said roll over, roll over...

On Saturday night, much to our surprise, the Bear announced that he would be sleeping upstairs. With his sister.

Most of you already know that the Bear has been sleeping in the toddler bed situated in the master bedroom for months and months. We decided to let him sleep there instead of having him walk down the stairs and onto the couch in the family room (next to our room) in the middle of the night. And our stairs? It's a straight shot down with tile at the bottom. So we were worried that he'd fall down one night. Somewhere in these past months, the Princess decided to start sleeping in her brother's bed. And has been there ever night since.

Bear: I sweep upstaiws with Sissy.
Me: You are?
Bear: Uh-huh. I sweep with Sissy.

So we got the kidlings ready for bed. The Prin was sleeping on the north left side of the bed. She used the sheet and comforter. The Hubs placed the Bear's pillow and firetruck blanket on top of the comforter on the south right side of the bed. And they slept all night.

The Bear didn't wake up until a little past 7am on Sunday morning. That is UNUSUAL for him. He's normally up at the crack of dawn (every day). So he slept in. Yes. In our house, 7 o'clock is sleeping in for the Bear. But it was good. He was in his bed. That's a positive step to getting him out of our bedroom.

Much to our surprise last night (Sunday), the Bear told us again that he'd be sleeping upstairs with his sister. Okay....fine. We got them ready for bed and put them in the same positions. And it's 5:52am and they're both still upstairs.

Hopefully, we'll be taking the next step in a bit. On the Bear sleeping all alone in his bedroom. But we're in no hurry. The Prin doesn't mind either. It's her baby brother. Her bubby.
