Boys!!!

We put the kids to bed early on Sunday night. The boys had not had enough sleep, Sydney had not had a nap and it was just one of those days/nights where we needed to be "done" early. So a few minutes after we got them all down, Caden (who had been rude/disobedient a lot that day) came out of his room screaming. He claimed that Parker had punched him. As we do on nights when those two who share a room fight, we sent Caden to go to sleep in our room. Parker came out shortly after that wondering where Caden was. He told us that Caden had been singing and talking while Parker was trying to fall asleep. Parker told him to stop. Caden told Parker that he wasn't singing and that Parker was just hearing things in his head. And then Parker decked him.

While Parker was out with us, he was lamenting the fact that he has to share a room with Caden. We jokingly suggested that he could sleep in the storage room as it is one of the only rooms in the house with no occupants. We then sent him to bed.

Last night, after reading with Bob, Parker took matters into his own hands. He set up his fan next to the storage room, got a sleeping bag and pillow, and laid down for the night. Caden was not happy with this arrangement. He said he doesn't like to sleep in the room alone. So he set up a bed in his doorway across the hall from Parker. This worked for them last night. We'll see if they continue the pattern.
