Okay so we've been sleeping at the new house since 12/22/08 and Grace has done a pretty good job about sleeping in her room. Her room is the room w/ the two cute little twin beds, that we had been planning on letting them share. I know share, but this is what Grace SAID she wanted... otherwise I might have gotten her a queen sized bed. But after a night or two she wanted to switch from the bed near the window to the other bed, when I said no that would be Eva's bed soon she said, "No Eva's bed is in the other room". News to me!
We have the other bedroom set up w/ Eva's crib and the bedroom suite they previously had. I had initially thought Grace might insist on sleeping in the same room w/ Eva since they were used to doing this, that is until Eva was able to sleep in a big girl bed. But no, Grace wanted her own room now.
So Grace has been sleeping in her room for the last two weeks w/ Eva in the other room. Eva's a relatively good sleeper so I wasn't too worried. But tonight, Grace said she wanted to sleep in the SAME room - in Eva's room w/ her b/c she's "scared". Rather than argue with her I said, that was fine - but we watched what I wanted on TV while I rocked Eva and NO TALKING;-) Grace agreed, hopped up in bed happily, while Eva burst into tears saying "my bed, my bed". She doesn't talk much, so it was a little shocking that she was so upset. I reassured her repeatedly that Grace would not be in her bed but right next to her, she either gave in b/c she was so tired or decided it was a losing battle b/c she finally fell asleep.
Grace on the other hand didn't go to sleep so quickly... I was watching The Bachelor and Grace kept whispering to me about the show. I said, "Grace - sshhhh you have to be quiet." Grace informed me, "I am quiet, I whispered!" Which she did, so I had to say, please no whispering:-) Grace then informed me, "I'll just leave one eye open so I can see the girls in their pretty dresses." She's so sweet and kind hearted, who could ever be mad at her long:-)
