The big toddler bed debate has brought on another dilemma.
To separate or not to separate?
We have a spare room that we're using as a storage room/office. It would be easy enough to clean out and it's already painted in a grayish-blue color so it would work for Christopher.
For the most part, they are still OK being in the same room. They play and talk before going to sleep but they don't really keep each other up. BUT, I am afraid they will get out of their toddler beds and start to wake each other up once we make the transition.
By giving them their own rooms, I'm giving them an opportunity to have some individualism and independence. But, I'm also taking away a support system and comfort.
I'm so torn...
Mommies of twins - are your twins still in the same room and if not, when did you separate them? Did the kids have any separation issues when you did split them up?

the same anonymous mother of twin girls that switched to toddler beds, after trying the crib tent. because of the same gender, we had them in the same room, I think I mentioned our night routine went from 1 hour to 3 after the switch to toddler beds, i forgot to mention one of my girls keep getting up and trying to play with the other one, but after a couple of week she stayed put. the only advise I can give you is to try them separately for a couple of weeks to see what happens, if they seem content to stay in the same room, I will keep them together for another year or so, my girls wanted their own room around 3-4, well maybe they didn't wanted it, but around 3-4 their sisterly bickering became too much,hence we decided they needed their own space to cool off. they are now 6 and their rooms reflect their personality so much! One is messy, the other one is neat, one is girly, the other one is more of a "rocker chic"..
Correction, what I'm trying to say is to keep the toddler beds in the same room for a couple of weeks...
