My kids out of my room!

They are out and we have our beds to ourselves in September!!!!

We have planned for this for so long since May but did not have time to get on with it. And finally we had clean up the kids room and done up the bed frames. The rubber covers of the bed frames stands did not come with the double deck bed (when the beds are splited). And of course after 2 years since we last bought the bed, the furniture shop totally ignore our enquires. So there was a long hunt for the correct rubber caps around the whole of singapore.

I putted up the girly bedsheets that we bought from Ausino 2 years back, those with princess and boldly pinkish. Bliss loved it! And they gladly slept on those beds even when it not fully done. But the strong desire to sleep on their own is short lived...

Since they were shifted out, I took the chance to also totally wean Zest off. There were at least 3 nights of hour long crying, whinning, followed by very attention seeking behaviour whenever she comes home. Her Teacher also find that she was very moody that 2 weeks. Soon after a while, we trained her to drink milk powder whenever her craving comes. The milk powder starts to runs out fast, like every 2 weeks. Now it been about a month, Zest starts to sleep through every alternate night. Still I am still very exhuasted whenever she wakes up in the middle of the night crying. However, thank God that Zest is learning to sleep through and seems to get it faster than Bliss used to. So thankful for this, and hopefully she will be able to have better sleep from now on.

Bliss started well since she is already sleeping through, but she still requires one of us to sleep with her. She will crawl into our bed if she wakes up in the middle of the night. Well, she had us slepping with her for 5 years. So I believe some habits are hard to get rid of. She amused us at times. Her recent arguement is that since she should be sleeping alone on her own bed, she asked why my hubby needs me to sleep with him? Though it was annoying then, but it sounds logic doesn't it? Hubby was lost for words. Then to put forth her arguement, she asked me again and this time she said that we were much older then her.

Now Bliss will fall asleep soon as long as one of us sleeps with her. As for Zest, most of the times she is very active and refuse to go to sleep. Many a times, we have to discipline her at her bed time till wee hours.

I hope these teething problems will be over soon... I need to get back my peaceful sleep...
