Sleeping together - Finally!!!!!

Since the twins were born, I've put them to sleep together in the same room maybe a handful of times.  Ania (blue eyes) is a light sleeper.  She often wakes up in the middle of the night, cries for about 5-7 minutes and then soothes herself to sleep. Aila, on the other hand, sleeps profoundly and much longer than Ania.  Since they were infants, I've interchanged them.  One sleeps in their room, the other sleeps in a pack and play, either in the playroom or in H's office, which I might add, they love.  So I figured, why mess with something that works?  One day, they'll sleep in the same room.  For now, I can take advantage of the fact that Aila wakes up later, naps longer, and I can just get Ania when she starts crying and/or yelling "MAMA!"

Well, Aila changed my plans.  She climbed out of her pack and play and bumped her forehead and nose.  So, what to do?  Place in her crib in her room and have them sleep together.  Ania already has a crib tent.  What's a crib tent you might ask?  Google it, the best invention ever created....  So two nights ago, I went for it.  I was terrified.  It's not the same having one baby wake up in the middle of the night than having one baby wake up another in the middle of the night and have two crying babies in the middle of the night.  You get my drift....Herman was traveling, this was my chance.  So..... it worked!  Ania didn't cry and they both sleep soundly through the night. What was I so scared of?  Having my precious sleep interrupted, I guess.  Well, last night, second night of this experiment, Ania did cry at 2:29 a.m.  I cringed.  I thought, this is it.  Well, guess what?  Aila tunes her out!  As in, throws a blankie over her head, tunes her out.  I love it!  This is what we have been working towards.  And guess what?  I think they love it too.  They are sisters, connected, in ways than only sisters can be. They've been together for a very long time, since they were created.  They love being together.  They share a special bond.  And I adore them with all of me.  All four.  My girls.  I am blessed.
