Our New Sleeping Arrangement

boys’ bedroom

My two older boys is now sleeping on their own room. Yes! After so many months (or even years) of contemplating and planning, they finally agreed to sleep on a different room. I am happy with this new arrangement but a part of me was sad.. in fact, the first few days that they are sleeping in their bedroom, I’d check on them 2-3x every night. Nakakalungkot din.. ang laki na nila.. akala ko the first few nights eh lilipat sa kwarto namin.. hindeee..ako pala ang hindi makakatulog hahaha

I told them they can sleep in our room during weekends (akala nila para sa kanila un, di nila alam that’s for me! haha). I miss looking at them sleeping peacefully. That’s my favorite part of my night..staring at them, teary eyed and thanking heavens I have them (opo madrama akong nanay). Pero aminin ninyo mommies, you love staring at your kids when they are asleep di ba? Parang it takes all the worries and stress you had during the day.

Speaking of sleeping peacefully, of all our kids, it was Sati who got my “sleeping pattern”. She’s the one who gets really cranky in the morning when she didn’t have a good night sleep. And hubby would tease me on that, sa lahat daw ng mamana sa akin eh iyon pa (wahaha). Eh totoo naman di ba? pag kulang ka sa tulog or hindi ka nakatulog ng maayos, nakakainis. But more than that, sleep is vital for babies and kids. According to Mother and Child Nurses Association of the Philippines President Alicia Estiller, Sleep deprivation is associated with stunted growth, weight problems, low attention span, delayed learning and behavioral problems.”

Dr Luci Wiggs, an infant sleep expert at Oxford Brookes University in the UK, commented, “Sleep is vital for the healthy cognitive, behavioural and physical development of your baby. External influences such as hunger, discomfort, noise and other disturbances can all affect a baby’s sleep and bring them into a heightened state arousal (disrupted sleep) even if they don’t fully wake up.”

Number one reason for Sati waking up at night or for her not having a good night sleep is discomfort. Kapag mainit, naku hirap na hirap matulog! Kapag malamig, masarap ang tulog niya but I have to make sure that she’s on diaper or else pagising gising din kase naiihi. Thank goodness for diapers talaga.. kahit si Chico, he still wears diaper at night.

Back to my older boys, with this new arrangement I got to bond with them more. Kase nga namimiss ko sila sa gabi, I always make sure to have a few moments with them before they sleep. And I know having their own bedroom will also teach them to be more responsible.
