Rooms of Our Own

Last night Kelton wanted to sleep in his own room. This is the first time he has slept in his own room since all the craziness with breaking up started. Not only that, but he fell asleep by himself (well - he did have Maddie with him but still - no mom which has rarely ever happened in his entire life). He slept in his own room!

I know to most people this is not such a huge event (and I know many of you are rolling your eyes) but to me? HUGE! To Kelton? A very proud moment.

Kaylen still needed help falling asleep but even she stayed asleep all night long.

It's a huge deal. Everyone slept in their own beds all night long.

Now I just need to keep this trend going. (So Dakota....encourage this tonight, please). We're finally getting there - baby step by baby step.

Now if I could just get the dogs to sleep somewhere *other* than my bed. Because really? Not a fan of dogs on the bed.

Wow, that is HUGE. So glad they are feeling more secure. Yay for Kelton, he must feel so proud of himself.

Hmmmm...could a dog sleep with each kid? Would they go for dog beds on the floor? Seriously, the laundry room, especially for the one who has accidents. Crates at night? YOU need to get sleep too.

That is great! And I think it's really sweet that you've had the patience to lay down with him for all these years. It makes the victory so much sweeter for him, when he does it all by his own choice!
