All of our kids have done this to some extent, but with Eva, the baby holds some magnetic pull for her. She literally can not resist her. I struggle with knowing exactly how to handle this. This house is so strange as far as sound...if doors are shut it is REALLY hard to hear what's going in there, or, if I am upstairs you literally can not hear what is going on downstairs, and vice versa. So if I put the baby in bed and then pull the door shut all the way I can be in the room next to hers and never hear her cry. So, I tend to leave the door open a crack. This is the reason that Eva continues to sneak in Ane's bed. This may not be a big deal to some, but if you've seen Eva's interaction with babies, she tries to get as close to them as she possibly can, and this sometimes means cheek to cheek, stomach to stomach, toes to toes. In other words, completely smooshing them. She's such a tank, she'd smother Ane for sure! However, every time I've caught her in there she is always laying side by side with Ane, and Ane is completely happy to have her there. Hmmm...I'm not sure how to handle this.
