Last night we put the girls back in the same room to sleep. Everyone has been sleeping in separate rooms for quite a while, it just works better right now to separate them. But we have guests coming this week and the babies will have to share while they are here. We thought we should start the process early. Well, going to bed was as expected, Alex cried for 25 minutes bothering Emma but she finally settled and both slept all night just fine.
In the morning though Alex woke early by about 20 minutes and started fussing. It woke Emma and after a few minutes Emma rose, crawled to the end of the bed that is adjacent to Alex, stood up and put Alex in her place. I watched this all unfold on their camera. Emma sternly told Alex, in baby babble of course, to "pipe down it's not time to get up yet, I'm sleeping"! Alex stopped crying, and Emma got back down turned around and laid back down and went back to sleep. Alex sat in her crib quietly playing until I went to wake everyone up.
It was hilarious to watch. I've noticed Emma is in charge of the gang during their play time and she has given both her brother and sister stern orders in the past but this one was just too cute. She even pushes her brother, who is 5lbs heavier than her, over when he gets on her nerves. She's one tough cookie.
