Two peas in a pod, right?

As of right now I feel like the only Mom who has ever had to make the transition of putting a baby in with a toddler to share a room. Now this is so obviously not the case, but I cant help but worry about every potential problem. Will the baby wake the boy? What if the boy decides to climb in with the poor defenseless baby? What if the boy decides he doesn't want to sleep at any normal hours every again, because he has a roommate? Will the boy wake the baby? and so on, and so on.
I know all these problems will turn out to be a weeks worth of little sleep, and then a normal routine. Still I can't help but have a mother's worry.
To ease myself (note myself, not the boys) into this transition I have been letting the boys play together in the room while I am an onlooker, only intervening when needed, and making the room more of what I want it to be. Considering we have been homeowners for a short 7 months, this leaves me with pretty much a blank slate and very tiny amounts of money!
So I made the munchkin a mobile! Here's hoping it will keep him entertained enough to want to stay in his crib longer.

I will post more about this transition as it happens, first we need to get the munchkin sleeping better through the night!
