| Sleep in heavenly peace! |
After letting Jaide get used to sleeping on her mattress in the room for naps, we finally made the complete switch tonight at bedtime.
The first hour was rather chaotic. The older kids started off by talking to Jaide. Then, Jaide started climbing onto the sibling's beds and disturbing them. And when Joash and Jayna finally got the idea that the best thing to do was to totally ignore Jaide, our little girl decided to open up the chest of toys to play with! Eventually, I placed the box onto the chest of drawers safely out of her reach. All in all, I had to go into the room to referee the situation 5 times before they started to fall asleep one by one, beginning with the oldest. Praise God for a succesful first night in the same room!

I pray that they will all peacefully sleep through the night, especially for Jaide since she is in a new nighttime environment. Hopefully, I don't have to go in anymore in the near future when the novelty wears off and the kids learn to sleep right away after being put to bed once again...
