Enjoying a family breakfast

After enjoying a nice family breakfast, Gwendolyn climbed up into Tim's lap and grabbed the bottle of whipped cream off the table. She was so entertained by taking the cap off and putting it back on. :)
There has been lots going on here lately.
Yesterday Lucas asked to move his bed into his own room!! He ASKED!! He has been in our room since he has been born. And has loved it there. Then all of a sudden, he wanted to move his bed into his own room. He's a real boy!! Right after he asked, (less than a minute later) Tim and I went and got Lucas's bed and set it up in his room. Before he could change his mind or loose his enthusiasm. He was SO happy!! Last night went really well. We let Lucas fall asleep watching television and carried him to bed after he was asleep. He woke up less than an hour later and came to our bed. I was too asleep to realize he was there and move him, so he stayed for a little while. But after about a half hour of him kicking me, I took him back to his own bed and told him (nicely) that he needed to stay in his own bed. And he did. Awesome!! Gwendolyn didn't seem to mind having Lucas around at all. In fact, yesterday was the first that she slept through the night! This gets better and better!! Today's nap seems to be going well so far. Lucas had a mild meltdown when we told him it was nap time (not unusual - it happens once a week or so). Tim tucked him into bed while I fed Gwendolyn. I set her down in her crib and she started screeching (also not unusual). But she fell asleep in under a minute. And Lucas has either been sleeping or laying quietly for the last half hour or so. This is just too easy!! I figured that Lucas would still be in our room when the new baby came. And that neither of the kids would be sleeping through the night. And I was completely okay with that. Then out of nowhere, Gwendolyn started sleeping so much better and is now starting to sleep the whole night! And Lucas is sleeping on his own! This will make things SO much easier!!! I got so much sleep last night since both kids were sleeping so well, that I woke up at 5 o'clock this morning feeling well rested. It's usually a chore to drag me out of bed at 7. Hopefully the kids will continue to sleep this well!!
