Sharing a room . . .

Last night Riley and Dash slept in the same room for the first time.  They were both tired out from our Safari Park excursion so they both went to sleep almost immediately.  About 5:00 am Dash woke up and started fussing, which woke Riley up.  Our first reaction was to go in their room and each take a kid and try to get them to go back to sleep.  But we finally decided to just leave them and see what happens.  Over the monitor we hear Riley softly say, "It's okay baby, don't cry."  Then Riley sang "I'm a Child of God" to Dash, which is what we sing to them when we are putting them down for the night.  Soon they were both asleep again, and a lot faster than if we had gone in there to try to help.  Awesome!  I was really hesitant about putting them in the same room.  I thought that they would just keep waking each other up and no one would be getting any sleep.  And I guess there might be nights like that, but I have to say that last night was a total success!
