Afton and Mya share a bedroom. And a bed time. And they generally do a great job of going through their typical nighttime routine of getting ready for bed, then into bed around their bed time. Afton sleeps on the top bunk, and Mya on the larger lower bunk. More and more often lately they ask if they can both sleep on Mya's bed since there is room for both of them. The next morning they both will have stories about how Afton kicked Mya in the back, or how Mya's arm slapped Afton's face while she was asleep. But they love being together. Many times when they get tucked in for the night they will cuddle together or hold hands.
Last night was another "can we share Mya's bed" request. I tucked them in at just before 9:00 and since it is spring break gave in to their begging to be able to read (Afton) and play the iPad (Mya) before going to sleep. I said that Afton could read one more chapter in her book and when she was done they both needed to close their eyes and go to sleep. With them in bed for the night it means a few episodes of Amazing Race for me and Stefanie.
We were just about through the 2nd episode when we heard loud giggling coming out of the girls room. I looked at the clock and it was 10:35. I walked down the hall and peaked into their room. Mya was pushed right up against Afton, while Afton held the iPad for both to see. They were playing some silly game with a toy train app, and anything they said or did was apparently hilarious because they'd just laugh and laugh.
Two cute sisters + spring break = dad just closed the door and let them be.
