Today we bit the bullet and moved the Boy into his own room. We moved half the toys, re-organized the furniture, moved his bed, and successfully converted the “toy room” into a bedroom. I still have some trepidation about how things will go tonight, this being the first time he’s slept in a room by himself and the first time for the Girl in two years. It’ll be fine.

Meanwhile, I’m giddy with the luxury of sending them to separate rooms to play thereby reducing their chances to fight one another. And the kids both love it. They seem to be enjoying their new independence. We should have done this a year ago.
