Sharing a Room (New toddler Schedule)

Since our  big move too Alaska we have made many changes. Our previous house had 5 bedrooms in only 2200sqft. It was more rooms than living space. Our new house is only 3 bedrooms and has way more living space than bedrooms so our family had to make a new changes in our bedtime and nap schedules but so far the girls love their new room!

Yes they are sharing a room, and I see all the perks in sharing rooms and some of the down falls.
Plus side~

  • They are sharing more
  • They play better together
  • Less night terrors since they have each other in the same room.
  • I am not bouncing from room to room every night.
  • Down sizing toys! Makes cleaning easier and you really get to know the toys your kids use and don't use.
Down Side~ 
  • They wake each other up once a night maybe twice a night
  • Nap times are separate 
  • two bedtime schedules 
  • Sharing a closet (mainly because Kaylie loves to throw an unlatch all the shoes)
