Good Deed Gone Wrong?

Kelsey was very excited, no estatic, when she found out I was having a boy. This meant she was finally getting her own room, her own SPACE! After Eric was born we moved Jenna out of the crib into a big bed in a room she now shares with Kate. Jenna had no problem adjusting at first. Lately though, she's been waking up scared at night. While we went through night terrors with Kelsey, this fortunately, was different. Jenna seemed only to be scared of the dark, even with a night light on. The situation has worsened and now she needs not only a night light but a lamp and the hall light left on too. I don't know how anyone could fall asleep in there. It's like trying to go to sleep in the summer in Alaska.

One night Kelsey introduced Jenna to her bed. She sang High School Musical 2 songs with her, read her books and cuddled. Jenna thought she had died and gone to heaven. So now we struggle with Jenna even starting in her own bed at bedtime. Last night, in the middle of the night, I woke up to Jenna's cries and found her in the hallway outside Kelsey's door crying, "Kelsey's bed, Kelsey's bed." Poor Kelsey has tried to be a good big sister and now finds herself sharing not only her room but her bed too!

The funny thing is, Jenna doesn't seem the slightest bit concerned about sleeping in Kelsey's pitch black room as long as her sister is near.
