Bedtime Madness

Lance and I have known this day was coming for quite a while, but we have been putting it off for as long as possible. Sunday night I decided to suck it up and move the boys into the same room to sleep at night. They will have to sleep in the same room in Colorado and we want them to be used to it before we get up there. After talking to several people I went in thinking that the first couple night would be crazy but the newness would wear off quickly. So far I am totally wrong. It is night 5 and they have not fallen asleep before 10:00 yet. The good news is that they LOVE being in the same room. The bad news is that they love being in the same room. Nash just wants to have fun and Beck is all too happy to oblige. They sit in the room cracking up and talking to each other for hours. My question is at what point do they give it up and lay down? We find Nash in his bed, with his covers on, fast asleep, so we know that at some point he goes and gets himself in bed. What I would not give for a video camera that works in the dark.
At this point I am debating taking Beck back out so they can get some sleep because I have to tell you they are both cranky boys on less sleep. Should I wait it out and give it more time or do I seperate now and try again in a couple months. Help!! I have no answers

Well, I can't tell you about two boys at different ages ... but my boys love to talk to each other instead of nap and go to sleep. I do think they will get used to it eventually. I would think give it a little more time. Especially with them being cranky in the morning...
Good luck!

Good luck, girl...I say keep it up since you've already started and hopefully they will be used to it by the time you leave for CO. However, I'm not the one having to be around them when they are cranky!!

Let me know what you do b/c we've got to get our girls in the same room really soon...NOT sure how that's gonna work since Karys sings to herself for 30 minutes before falling asleep and Hannah talks to herself. Maybe they'll entertain each other. We shall see!
