[quote=Anonymous]Baby number three is due in March. We’re in a three bedroom. My son is 4.5 and in a large bedroom. My daughter is newly 3 and in a much smaller bedroom. The big kids will need to share sometime before the baby comes. When to move her?

Relevant considerations:
-The kids are best friends and get along great. 
-Little Girl has had a ton of big changes recently. Said goodbye to her beloved nanny, started PK3, and just moved into a big girl bed. 
-I want to separate the room change from the baby arriving. We’ve been previewing it as “Wow, Larla, you’re getting so big - soon you’ll be big enough to move into Larlo’s room with him!” But it means we need a solid gap between her moving and the baby coming so she doesn’t feel replaced. 
-We will need the small room for the baby from day one - he’ll mostly sleep in our room, but will have a night nanny 2x a week and he’ll likely sleep in his room those nights. 
-Both big kids still nap, much better at home than at school, so them napping in the same room may present a challenge. On vacations they share at night but one naps in our room, and we may end up having to do a similar thing once they’re sharing. That makes me want to wait as long as possible to move them together - my son won’t nap forever!

Thoughts? When would you move her?[/quote]
