As noted earlier, Johanna was often despondent at bedtime. She was often scared.
I have always planned to put the two little girls together, but, frankly, was waiting until I felt they were old enough to safely enjoy bunk beds. That is still a bit away, and with two beds on the floor neither of their rooms is really large enough for all that they have for a combined bedroom.
BUT – necessity is the mother of invention and we need better sleep for Hanny and her parents.
So – John moved Katriel’s dresser out of her room and into Johanna’s room, and Johanna’s bed out of her room and into Katriel’s room.
What we are left with is a room for sleeping.![]()
And a room for dressing and playing.
Eventually we will put bunks in here (another year, maybe?) and I hope to use the now Sleep Room for a school room.
(Ah – in search of a school room. Homeschool moms know what I am pining for. More likely at that point some of the older ones will want their own rooms…)
What we found out a few days in, was that this sleeping arrangement transpired a few minutes after we’d leave each night. At least now we know to go back in and cover Katriel up.![]()
