I have my 6 yo today and I have to tell you it makes such a difference to the flow of things. I really like this kid but he gets the little ones riled and nap time isn't really happening because his brother obviously sees he's awake (he's in the hallway quietly doing crafts). When the brother had lice this wk I was glad I don't use my whole house for dc. During naptime with a nonsleeper however I wish I had a seperate area.
