Sweet sleeping

Lucas for a long time has been deathly afraid of his room. Terrified, in fact. A few weeks ago, I tried to get him to come with me into his room to play puzzles, to play with toys, to read a book, he ran crying and screaming, taking nearly 30 minutes to fully calm down.

I find this interesting because once upon a time Alex was also afraid of that room. What is it about the room?

So lately, Lucas has been falling asleep on the couch with either Doug or myself, leaning against us. Once he is really asleep we can transfer him into his room and into his crib and if he doesn't wake up he will stay there all night.

The last few nights, however, when Doug has been putting Alex down to sleep, Lucas has wandered in to Alex's room, saying, "I seep Aggie." The first night they slept together all night. It was so sweet. Last night I heard giggles and talking for about 10 minutes and then silence.

It is so sweet that they want to be together and that they find comfort in eachother. I don't expect this to last forever, but am greatful while it does.
