This is something I will be implementing after I'm back from my mat leave! I would like our upstairs to be for family only, andit will be so nice to clear out the playpens!
I have my basement playroom divided so that it's 3/4 playroom and 1/4 sleep area for the 3 yrs olds (right now I have 2 2yrs olds that sleep upstairs in our bedrooms). Starting the day they return from my mat leave, they will ALL be sleeping in the sleep area of the basement, so they will not be disturbed by a screaming baby, lol. I hope it works out! Right now, I have excellent sleepers though so I'm not *too* worried about it. Good luck!!!!
