An experiment - Max in a big boy bed tonight

It's been a while since I've written. We've been enjoying the holidays. I'm home from work for 2 weeks and trying to do a lot of resting. I also had some plans for helping Max prepare for the new baby while I was home. Major goal was potty training. That hasn't honestly been going to well. Max doesn't seem to care when he pees in his pants. The only time he uses the toilet is when we make him do it. Not sure how this is going to improve anytime soon. We will see.

I did decide to try Max out in the extra twin bed in Ellie's room. Tonight we decorated Max side of the room with his new vehicle stickers. We put the new big boy sheets and blanket onto Max's bed. He was pretty excited about getting into bed. We put them to bed a bit late. They shared a story with Daddy. Then we shared prayers and songs with Mommy. Then I tucked them in with instructions they could talk for a few minutes. I left.

About 10 minutes later, after listening to them sing to each other and talk to each other, I went in to tell them it was time to go to sleep. They didn't argue. They needed more hugs and kisses, and a little TLC, but I left without tears.

It's been about an hour and a half and at least one is still awake up there. I've been listening and hoping. I know I need to be patient. This is hard for me, because I hate for them to be missing sleep. I think this is harder for me then them. I am so conflicted about them sharing, but they were very excited.

I'm hoping for a good night and trying to be patient. I'll update soon. Good night.
