***Yes....there room is a bright, bubblegum pink....a bad decision in color choice on my part when we first decided this would be Maylee's room....***
There is more noise, more playing, later nights, less naps, more animals being thrown, requests for water, jumping in bed, diaper removal, and a TON more giggling, laughing, and a new bond being born between my little boys. Maybe it wasn't such a bad idea....now if only they can still get enough sleep.
You know they enjoy sharing a room when Drew requests nap time at 11:30.....just so they can play together.
As for now, the "honeymoon" period of it all has started to wear off. They don't play for two hours every night anymore and I think there has been a squabble or two when Drew gets too close to the Carter monster who reaches out from his cage.
I am a big fan and believer in them sharing a room though. The other night Drew had to go to bed before Carter since he didn't have a nap and Carter took a great nap. As I was putting Drew to bed he was just beside himself. He was crying saying "...but I LOVE Carter. I love him. Best friends. I love Carter". It was just about the sweetest thing ever. He still had to go to bed and Carter went to bed a while later.....and of course I reminded him to be quiet only to hear him loudly saying 10 minutes later - Quiet, quiet, quiet...over and over again. Apparently he was trying to wake Drew up....little stinker.
We have now had our fair share of water requests...complete with water spitting fight during nap time....
Then this morning.....oh this morning.....Drew wakes up insanely early sometimes - we're talking like 3 or 4:00 in the morning and I just put him back to bed with no problem. Well this morning started out the same. I put him back in bed....then just before 7:00 in the morning I heard a little shriek. I flew out of bed and looked down the hall and say their light on. I came into a room with two VERY awake little boys who had thrown all their blankets off their beds...removed their pants...and stood there with no diaper or underwear on. Oh goodness - I was not a happy mom. I know Drew woke Carter up....he was in trouble. Sigh - oh well. They both are taking naps today to say the least! Carter gets up at 8:15 or later every day, especially when he gets to stay up later because he took a late nap like he did yesterday....he was one tired boy come lunch time.
***We painted their room this past weekend and are excited to get their "sports" stuff hung on the walls! I will post pictures when it is all done***

Even with all of the challenges associated with my boys sharing their room, I love it! They love it, too.
First off, you are super mom for dealing with the late nights, playing, early wake ups, diaper removal and keeping your cool! Second, does Carter not try and climb out of the crib? How on earth has that not happened, of Drew climbed into the crib? That would be the first thing Ryan would try with a set up like that! Good thing those boys are adorable when they have so much fun together late at night, huh?
