Charlie slept in her own room!!! happy and sad

[moogie]

dh has been so tired lately and Charlie doesn't let him have much of a good rest since she really loves him and wants to pretty much hug him all night long.  so 2 nights ago we thought we'd try putting her to sleep in her own room.  the first night she woke up before midnight i think(no clock) so i brought her back to bed.  Last night she cried in her sleep so i went in and comforted her and left her in the room.  she did this once more but then slept the whole night in there and woke up refreshed. 

I'm not sure about it all though.  dh needs his rest, he works like a dog(funny saying that).but i don't know what is going through Charlies head about it.  she has never slept in a room by herself and the only reason we're doing it is so that dh can have a good nights rest.  Charlie didn't seem to mind but i still am unsure.

We have kind of started the same thing. We put a full size mattress in Del's room and I have been sleeping in there with her. Last night I slept in our room until she woke up and I spent the rest of the night with her. We are going to keep trying to see if she can make it through the night. It feels very weird though.

Megs, I wouldn't worry too much about it.  charlie knows her mind and she knows how to let you know when she needs something.

awww...that's both awesome and sad (b/c it's the beginning of her growing up and separating more). I totally get why you're doing it and I think this is a good age to try to do this. I need to start this w/ the girls but just can't seem to get motivated. I just don't know how they're going to do w/ it all. And, I don't know how I will handle it emotionally. It's a big step.

We decided its not the right time to do it.  We'll suggest she go in her room but thats about it.  With Asha needing a lot of my attention and Charlie not getting enough of my attention, it just doesn't feel right at the moment.

hi megs

i think yu most definatly kow when the time is right but i was wondering how she would go if you put a separate mattress on the other side of your room or something and she had like her own space there rather than being in a completely different room.
