Well, we moved Allison's crib into Lauren's room tonight. I have been going back and forth on when to move the girls into the same room now for some time now. I want then to enjoy that special time of sleeping together in the same room. I know lots of other siblings who share a room and started much earlier than my girls, but I couldn't hardly bring myself to disrupt either girl's sleeping habits until today.
Bill and I have talked about doing this a lot, and decided to wait, since Allison naps so well in the afternoon and both girls really sleep well at night. But today, something came over us and we decided to go ahead and do it. So without any hesitation, we started tearing things off the wall that had been anchored there for safety and moving most of the things in Lauren's room out in order to move the crib in. We decided it looked a lot like Lauren's room when we first moved her from the nursery into her room. We had her twin bed in there, but also moved the crib in there to let her get used to the room before we put her in the twin bed.
It took quite a while to get the girls to sleep tonight. They were so excited to be together. I had to take Allison out for a while to let Lauren get to sleep. I rocked Allison to sleep in her old room and that gave Lauren the opportunity to fall asleep without distraction in her room. We will see how they do.
I thoroughly enjoyed rocking Allison to sleep tonight. She is such a cuddly little girl. She loves to have her skin touching my skin. She has always loved my belly! I treasure every moment that I get to cuddle with her like that. I know it won't last forever!

I love that you got to rock Allison to sleep! I bet the girls will get the hang of sharing a room pretty quickly, and I think it is PRECIOUS that they are SO excited about it, too. Sweet girls.
Your sweet girls are going to love rooming together! Once they get used to it, I bet they'll have no trouble going to sleep. :) We've asked our boys if they want separate rooms, and right now neither one does.
I shared a room with my sister growing up and enjoyed it. Wish Taylor and Madison were a little closer and could room them together, not sure it would work with the 5 yr age difference. I know your girls are loving it though :)
