I am finding that now that they are 5 and 7, they are finally really entertaining each other. Yesterday morning, they played in their room for half an hour before they woke me up and then played together until lunchtime. I'm still exhausted though -- catching up from 7 years of sleep deprivation!Mary P Jones (MPJ)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10251787926841410344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8696496724271056053.post-69111572772655090442008-10-26T13:01:00.000-07:002008-10-26T13:01:00.000-07:00Oh, no.

Jayden was waking up 4-5 times a night just a month ago, calling "Mommy, Jayden all done sleeping!) That's stopped, but what if it starts again and there's no bars, nothing keeping him from getting out? <BR/>Right now I'm just enjoying the peace until one of them decides to climb out. Hopefully I have a few more years...lol <BR/>I do feel so so bad for you right now!Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14638088901866929061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8696496724271056053.post-11133646158933557872008-10-26T12:30:00.000-07:002008-10-26T12:30:00.000-07:00I feel your pain and unfortunately I don't have mu...I feel your pain and unfortunately I don't have much advise.

We finally reso...Oh my, I know this pain very well. We finally resorted to separating them at naptime bc of how crazy they are when they are napping together with no cribs to contain them. <BR/><BR/>We use doorknob covers on the inside of the door so they can not get out. And it probably sounds mean, but I will turn the lock around when they can open the door. They may wake up at 5:30 but since they know they can not get out of the room, they happily play in their beds.<BR/><BR/>Oh yeah, we also had a video monitor and had to watch them for months to teach them to STAY in bed. Now they know they are not allowed out of bed unless someone goes to get them.<BR/><BR/>I hate to say this out loud, but after dealing with them out of cribs and in beds for a year, potty training actually doesn't seem that bad to me.LauraChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14322568136833382134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8696496724271056053.post-48356361581092809392008-10-26T05:01:00.000-07:002008-10-26T05:01:00.000-07:00I have that problem too, that by the time the kids...I have that problem too, that by the time the kids are in bed, I want to be too.
