Well, the divorce is final. Emily slept in her new room on Saturday night and as expected it was a long night for all.



Mary burst into tears at bedtime, the most pathetic cry you ever heard, saying she doesn't want her own room.

We compromised and let her watch tv in bed despite the fact that it was already an hour past her bedtime. So at 11 pm she was still up and still weeping.



Emily was excited but sure enough she came up the stairs about 20 minutes after she went to bed crying and complaining of a headache and stomach ache. These are her classic sleep over illnesses and I knew it was coming. She's a bundle of nerves and it gets the best of her. So we talked for a bit about why she was feeling so nervous and reminded her that this is still her house, she's still near us all and it will just take some getting used to sleeping in a new room.



We also gave her a bone, letting her know that if she wants to move back upstairs, we won't be angry.



But she stuck it out (with the tv on, no sound and the static from her radio) She woke early Sunday morning but she did much better last night. No aches of any kind. Mary did good too. She tried to cry but only made herself giggle.



And I've noticed that they are playing together more often this last two days. Let's hope it lasts.
