Okay, so I am in a bit of a dilemma now. I have almost two year old twin boys who I have napping in the same room. However, I can no longer allow this to continue. They talk and jump around in their playpens keeping each other up and it is totally driving me crazy. The only way I can get them to sleep is by standing in the room until they sleep. Usually only takes a few minutes, but a total pain in the butt as my own two children don't sleep and my almost 2 year old son always tries to follow me into their room. All the other children sleep in seperate rooms. The problem is that even if I split the twins up, one of them will need to sleep with someone else.
So, I have been toying with the idea of having all my dck's sleep in the same room. I have one full time girl (15 months), the twins and a 15 month boy twice a week. I may also have a 11 month old start at the end of this month for 3 days a week. This will give me my bedrooms back, and hopefully, allow me to get the twins to be quiet (Oh I hope God).
I figure if I ship my kids off to my mothers (she lives two doors down) during nap time for a week, that I can get the others to follow the new sleep routine.
For those of you who have all the kids sleep in one room...what tips do you have for me. I'm thinking of adding a sound machine or music or something so if someone does make a little noise, it won't be soo disruptive.
Am I crazy for even attempting this with my twins????
TIA
