I Can't Believe It!

Asher has, yet again, proven himself to have impeccable timing. I don't know what it is about him, but he just knows when he needs to give something up. The first major time I can think of him doing this was with nursing. You see, Tristan nursed forever. Really, he did. He nursed for 20 months (I know, it's a long time, but I'm pretty granola. It's healthy, y'all! I cut him off at 20 months, though. I'm granola, but not that granola). Asher cut himself off right before he turned 15 months. He was just over it. He didn't need it anymore.
Well, turns out he was demonstrating his impeccable timing. Reason being, we found out shortly thereafter that we were expecting baby #3. He gave it up at the perfect time!

His latest thing to give up appears to be his crib...again, in impeccable timing! You see, we've been planning on Asher and Tristan sharing a room for a few years. Tristan has the perfect bed to share, a twin over full bunk bed with a trundle, and has been dying to share a room with his little brother. Channing and I have been wanting (needing) to move Asher up but didn't feel like he was ready yet. I was trying to give him at least to his second birthday (this Sunday) but knew it needed to happen soon. Rhiannon is due in eight weeks. We need his room and his crib.

I have worried over this move for many reasons. #1. The boys are upstairs. It made me a little nervous knowing that Asher could get out of bed and head downstairs in the middle of the night. #2. Asher loves his crib. He really does. He eagerly jumps into bed at night. #3. Asher and Tristan have very different sleeping habits. Asher has a tiny night light in his room, while Tristan has a bright one. Asher only likes to sleep alone, and Tristan likes to sleep with whoever is willing. Asher sleeps with the door closed, Tristan open. So different. #4. He's just a baby. He should be in his crib.

Well last night, Asher had different plans. He had a fit to sleep in Tristan's room. So after some discussion, we decided to let him try it (This was our second attempt. He pulled this a couple of nights ago, and he and Tristan both tried to sleep on the trundle {aka: the special bed}. It didn't work out because Asher refused to fall asleep. Seriously, people, the kid doesn't like to sleep in bed w/anyone else). So last night, we made sure Tristan slept on the double, and Asher slept on the trundle. This was the final result:
This child seems set on making my life with baby #3 easier. Thanks, sweet Asher!!!
