A couple months ago, Janie very calmly asked Mama, “when will I get my own room?” We knew the day would come but didn’t know when it would be a good time to put them in their own rooms again. We often forget that they used to sleep in separate rooms when we first moved to Alameda but then they consolidated on their own. Today, Janie brought it up again and decided today would be the day. We had just received an email from Peanut’s school that they will be closing starting Monday. So, since they will be spending more time at home right now, this was a good time to make the change.

Since Janie’s desk and computer are already in Peanut’s old room/guest room, she moved her clothes and books into the room and we moved some of the toys that were in the closet into her old room, which will now be Peanut’s room. They both slept in their separate rooms tonight and did rather well. I think Mama’s is the most affected by this change. The kids are cool but Mama is sad to see them growing up and needing space. 🙁
