Oh my goodness, I cannot believe it’s been 3 months since my last post. Time is flying by so fast but we are here and life is good. Tatiana is flourishing but we have a little issue going on here . I’m going to show you a really cute pic then you tell me what’s wrong with this picture.
Do you see it? Yeah Tatiana is sleeping in her brother’s bed. Tatiana refuses to sleep more than 2 hours in her own bed. Let me give you a little backstory, Tatiana has slept with us since she was an infant, although she had her crib it just felt right that she spent most of her nights nestled peacefully between her parents. Then as she grew older she didn’t have her own room, just a corner in ours, so it wasn’t a big deal to keep her nearby. Now she is 3 years old and finally has her own side of the room that she shares with her brother, TJ and HRC doesn’t like it, not one little bit. She cannot get out of her room due to the babygate at the door stopping her, so her alternative was to stand at the gate calling out for someone to come get her. I have found her at 2:00 am crouched in a corner just waiting to be found…I felt so sorry for her I brought her back to our bed. So now her new thing is to climb into TJ’s bed EVERY NIGHT. He takes good care of her but the problem is how in the world can I get her to sleep in her own bed??? Please help, all suggestions are welcome. Thank you.

In all honesty, my brother and sister slept in the same bed until one was just about in high school. I’m not sure if it’s a bad thing!
We never bought a crib, so my daughter slept with us until she was about 14 months. Then we put her in a toddler daybed in her room, but we turned the short side against the wall. She didn’t like it at first, but we stuck to our guns and she eventually got used to her own bed. My advice: stick with it, she’ll adjust.
Now we just need to break the habit of rocking her to sleep every night instead of letting her learn how to get to sleep on her own
