We knew the day was coming when London and Leo would be sharing a room. And if I’m being completely honest just the thought of it terrified me! From sleep schedules to volume control, I had all sorts of valid concerns. Then I realized I was worried about temporary comforts rather than long-term benefits and quickly got over my fears. We’re now a couple of months in and yes, we’ve had a few rough nights, but overall the boys are proving this arrangement to be one of the best experiences yet! Here are a few benefits we’ve encountered so far:

• It’s strengthening their bond
• It’s teaching respect
• It’s building communication
• It’s improving their sharing skills
• It’s teaching compromise
• It’s simplifying bedtime routine + cleanup
• It’s making my mama heart do somersaults 🙂
