Our nephew has come to stay with us for a little while so we have had to rearrange our sleeping situation just a bit. It has been a long time coming anyway. EG has been in our bedroom for the past 7 months. Longer than any other baby. It is definitely time for her to sleep in her crib. The biggest reason we have not moved her is because we were just not sure what to do with her. On nights that daddy's alarm goes off at 4AM he has been sleeping in the front room/Coco's room/guest room. Now our nephew has the front room and daddy has our room, EG and I have moved into Boop's room and Boop has moved into the girls' room. All temporary. The plan is to have EG and Boop share a room for awhile. The crib is in there. And eventually move her into the girls room. (Plus, I thought by now she would be sleeping through the night :) But right now my concern is Boop crawling into the crib with EG in the middle of the night when she cries. He would want to "help." So last night Boop and the girls were up until 10:30. Reading, giggling, talking. That is a half hour past my bedtime! I think Nature Girl and Boop were still awake when I finally went to bed!
We are enjoying having our nephew here. He has been a huge help already. The kids absolutely adore him. And follow him everywhere. Poor guy. But he is used to it, though. He is second in a large family. So he knows what it is like to have little ones around. Right now he is in the process of stripping the wallpaper in the school room. And he has watched Boop while the girls and I ran to the mall. Oh, and have I mentioned having another adult to talk to during the day. Daddy likes having him around. So far he has gone to the movies with him and is trying to get a fishing trip together. Tonight they might go watch the baseball game at a wing place. And he has help with the lawn. We just might get use to having him around . . .
