Sibling rivalry has reared its big ruly uncombed head here in a major way and one of the steps we've decided to take is to give the girls their own rooms again -- they've been sharing for almost three years now but we're hoping that a better sense of territory/this-is-mine might come from giving them their own spaces. As well as giving them somewhere to cool off, or be alone when it all gets to be too much. Anna is particular is very excited about her room -- the smallest bedroom, but conveniently located the closest to the bathroom. Preschooler priorities!

Mirthes room we'll probably set up with two beds, in case they still prefer to sleep in the same space. I took this photo a few nights ago, after a rather long day, with a big meltdown at the end, so that they got sent to bed without a story (the biggest punishment we can give :-) There were still plenty of (crocodile) tears when I finally went downstairs and when I headed back up to go to bed myself, I found them asleep like this. Little devils.
