The only time they share is at bed time...

We've been having some issues in our home with sharing. Katherine doesn't want to, unless, of course, she gives Sarah the thing Sarah does NOT want. Sarah does the grab-n-go -- snatches what she can of Katherine's and just takes off running. Neither of them seem to grasp the concept of sharing, nor do they seem to want to. Yet, amazingly, they share quite well at bed time... they share each other's beds.

Every night, the same thing happens. I lay them down for bed, they hop into the same bed after I leave the room, and just talk and giggle and get into all kinds of mischief.

Last night, Sarah went down before Katherine. When I put Katherine down in her own bed, she seemed tired enough that I guessed she would get to sleep before she thought about crawling into Sarah's bed.

Sure enough, when I went to check on them 30 minutes later (make sure they were covered, etc), Katherine was not in her bed. Instead, they were cuddled up with each other, sound asleep in Sarah's bed. I wish I knew the camera wouldn't wake them up, or I would have the world's sweetest picture posted. But I consider their time sleeping sacred...especially since it doesn't seem to happen easily anymore, so I passed on such a great photo opportunity.

We'll see how well they go down tonight.... for every easy night, there are about 2 dozen not-so-easy. :)
