Twin sleeping

 In April the big boys got their own room and their own new twin beds, which someday can become bunk beds. The beds were in an L shape in their room, so Theo slept next to the window facing the backyard, and Beckett slept next to the window facing our neighbor Joe and Kseniya's house. Then sometime during the summer they started both sleeping in Beckett's bed, partly because Theo said he was scared (of the dark, of being "alone", of having bad dreams) and partly because they like being close to each other. This continued on-and-off despite Beck's cast. Then in mid-August they decided they wanted their beds right next to each other. They have been sleeping this way since then. Beck has to climb over Theo's bed at bedtime, and when one occasionally wets the bed, it's difficult to change the sheets (especially when it is Beckett). They also end up gravitating toward each other while they sleep. Sometimes it's Beck who migrates toward the crack of the bed and ends up with his head on Theo's mattress or pillow, and sometimes it's Theo who is wedged over next to Beck. Here their heads were actually touching.

For the two weeks or so they're back to sleeping in the same bed. We've moved the beds apart so they don't have to climb over the empty bed to get to their shared bed.
