Sleeping Arrangements

The week before school started, Habtamu asked to rotate his bed so that his window and fan were at the head of his bed. On the surface this isn't much of an adjustment, but what's interesting is that H no longer has direct line of site of his sister's bed. For 3 years the kids have slept with their doors open and their beds situated so that they could see each other. Neither of them like to sleep upstairs alone when the other one is out at a slumber party or whatever. But I guess we've finally hit the point where they don't need to see each other to fall asleep.

I know this doesn't sound like a big deal, but I thought it was noteworthy.

I think that is a pretty big deal. This is one of those momentous steps forward, showing how much they truly feel home. I rejoice with you!

Did you think it would never happen? I am continually surprised that Henry does things that he didn't used to do. Then I remember he's a little human and will eventually be just like us. Weird! Another step forward....
