@Mrs. Train: WOW! I really, really, really wish we had started to sleep train sooner! Our twin boys were in our room in thier Rock N Play’s for probably the first 5-6 months because of reflux. When we finally moved them to their crib they hated laying flat and would not sleep, so we made the BIG mistake of letting them sleep with us! Ah, I know- shame on us. To this day (@18 months), we still struggle with sleeping through the night! We have 1-2 good days of no waking, then 1-2 days of getting up 2-3 times a night. We’re also fighting against night terrors some nights, so that makes it difficult as well. I definitely wish I had started them in thier cribs sooner, especially with two because it is exhausting.

Side note: I’m glad to have a “multiples” mom on here that I feel like I can relate to with having twins! Thanks for joining :)

on the one hand i can’t imagine sleep training two when just one is hard enough. on the other… they kept each other company!

that picture of him sleeping sitting up is so cute!

I love your pictures especially the cuddle picture and the last picture. Your boys are adorable!

I’m also having my DH sleep train my DD because it breaks my heart to hear her cry. Your method has given me some hope.

@Mrs. Blue: I dunno what your setup is like but my mom put my twin siblings in her room and put up a sheet as a partition to give the illusion of distance. She had a little sitting room on the side of her master so it was perfect. Eventually the boy twin n his big bro got their own room and my sister her own.

@Mrs. Train: loving these big family posts! Keep em coming!

Wow! When you sleep-trained the twins, were both together crying it out at the same time and they BOTH eventually settled down?

@Mrs. Train: Haha! No worries! Your stories don’t scare me anymore than my memories of having two brothers and all the trouble we got into do! It’s all part of the fun, but I am determined to somehow get all of our furniture mounted to the wall and apparently, I need to put netting over the cribs! :) Actually, your posts always make me look forward to the adventures and fun that boys bring with them.

@Mrs. Blue: I’m sorry if some of my stories scare you. Two boys are absolutely exhausting and non stop but my three boys are truly the light of my life and I wouldn’t change a thing! I will write one about the trouble we had with toddler beds next.

@Leialou: they snuggled like that all the time. I have tons of pictures of them sleeping together.

@mrs. wagon: the picture of joe is one of my favorites from that year.

What? there’s writing? about stuff? I can’t take my eyes off the adorable pics. Little Joe sleeping sitting up might just become my new desktop background.
