Am I Crazy? Time Will Tell....

I have a tendency to be impulsive and, in most cases, would "rather rush upon my fate" than wait in agonizing "limbo."

I think that's what happened today. I can't explain my temporary lack of sanity in any other way...

Sometime before Hylton arrives, we knew we needed to move Sterling into Evany's room, move Evie to a "big girl bed," and move the crib into Sterling's old room. I have been dreading this change for all the new drama and difficulties I felt sure we would experience (IE, less sleep). And yet, because I knew it was coming, I just wanted to get it over with and settled!

So I did it.


Sterling's and Evany's new room

Evie sleeping in her big girl bed for the first time

I'm not sure Evie knew what was going on: the whole morning she had just followed me aimlessly from room to room with her blankets, bunny, kitty, and baby trying to figure out where she was supposed to put her things.

I did hear Sterling trying to explain things to her while they were playing in the closet, "Sissy, Mommy has big baby Hylton in her tummy. Baby Hylton have to sleep in the crib and Sissy have to sleep in big bed. Baby Hylton going to sleep in Sterling room." At which point he leaves the closet to come point out my belly, "See Sissy? Mommy have big tummy. Baby Hylton in Mommy tummy."

I got it finished before nap time and Sterling was excited to try sleeping in his new room. Evie got into her new bed without much complaint. After I shut the door is when the fun started. Evie started playing peek-a-boo with her bunny from across the room. Sterling had strict orders to not make any sounds so Sissy could sleep. So then he starts yelling, "Momma, Sissy making sounds!" (repeated again and again....and again)

I kept going back in to put Sissy under her blankets and tell Sterling to just ignore her. At one point, I came in to find Sissy crouched on the dresser next her bed playing with the air purifier!

Finally, I had to just remove Sterling from the room and keep him up for the day.

He kept asking to go back to sleep in Sissy's room, so we tried a couple times after she was asleep, but once in there he'd just cry and say no. So we are sans nap today. Oh joy.

What have I done....?

Hopefully nighttime will go better and naps will get better with time...
