The Twin Bond Reeks Havoc on Sleeping

This is the last post about beds! I think this is harder on me - seeing my babies out of their beloved cribs...taking that next step to being big kids. Bare with me.
Last night was rough. OMG, I was thrown back into the newborn stage.
Logan couldn't get to sleep or stay asleep. Delaney, well, she climbed into her bed, closed her eyes and that was it - dreamland.
Logan needed to talk to her and she was not responding. This separation is really hard on Logan. Really hard.
He cried alot, almost every hour. He was scared, confused, and lost. It broke my heart. He kept asking to see "Nee Nee." He kept wanting to know what she was doing. He said he was scared, alot.
He didn't like the Spiderman Wallie - those large eyes were freaking him out and he needed light. So at 2AM I am searching for a working nightlight. It helped.
Overall, we didn't get any sleep. Aidan was woken up and said it was the longest night ever!
Logan HAD to see Laney as soon as possible.
That twin bond has always been so strong for him and times like these remind me that this is a bond that is real, it is strong, and it isn't something any of us singletons can ever comprehend. I live it and it still shocks me at times.
Poor Logey, another transition, but he will be OK...and I am sure he and Aidan will have plenty of good times sharing a room.
Oh, and Aidan is very excited to share a room! It really seems that for him, this is finally a way for him to be a "part" of the two of them. He now has a connection in there.
It is tough to be the singleton with twin siblings. I have seen that and heard Aidan ask to have a boy his age just for him. He definately feels left out and this, to him, is a way to be a part of this world.
That is very exciting to see him so excited!
I need to go rest..Rob took Aidan to soccer because I can barely function.....let's hope each night is a little easier for Logan!
