Spring fever has hit me pretty hard the last few days.
This usually means that the closets and furniture start calling out to me to be moved and organized. The rooms calling out to me the most were the kids room, actually our room was calling out the most, but it needs money to solve its problems. Sigh.
Back to the original point. We decided, well I decided and Soungsik didn't say no, that the kids should share a room for a while. Isabelle has been asking for a while and I guess I didn't think about it much since they aren't the same gender. Then it hit me, who cares if they aren't the same gender? They are 5 and 1. If they were 15 and 11 it might be an issue. My goal with moving them together is that hopefully this will help them in building their friendship. Most of the time they get along pretty well. William cries anytime Isabelle leaves, and she is the best big sister. She reads to him, plays with him, and almost always shares with a smile.
I have some minor concerns because of this move, such as:
Will William fall to his death off of the top bunk? I hope not.
Will the top bunk ever get made? Hmmmm.
Will the lower bunk ever get made? Double hmmmm.
Will the kids ever go to sleep at night? They better.
Will William wake up Isabelle in the mornings? Yes.
Will Isabelle wake up William in the middle of the night? Probably.
Even with all of that I still think there will be some major benefits too, such as:
Will there be lots and lots of laughing? Definitely
Will there be more playing together instead of seperately? Of course.
Will there be more secrets told? I may never know.
Will there be more stories read to each other? I bet.
Will this help them in becoming best friends? I am banking my sleep and sanity on it.
Here's what the room looks like now.
Its a mish mash of boy/girl paraphernalia.
I wonder if we have enough stuffed animals?
We will have to wait and see how well this works before I commit to any design theme!
William will just have to sleep with the flowers, I hope it doesn't permanently damage him.
Isabelle will have to get used to the jungle theme. Wait for it...she's used to it.
Wish me luck, I think I am going to need it!
