TU2 sharing a room ??

We are currently living in a 3 bedroom house, so since my grandmother lives with us, our two boys (my DD and SS) are sharing a room. They are only 3 months apart so it hasn't been a problem at all. They actually seem to enjoy it. They talk to each other until they fall asleep & whichever wakes up first wakes the other up. 

Anyhow, we are moving into our new house in about a month and it has 4/5 bedrooms so there will be plenty of room for the boys to have their own rooms and not have to share. Since they are so young, I don't really know what to do. Should we let them continue to share a room for a little while longer and have a play room? Or do we go ahead and give them each their own room? They are turning 2 this year..

 

TIA!

    Does you SS live with you 100% of the time?  I would keep them together if you all plan to have any other children in the future, you'll end up putting them back together anyhow.  If it's working, let it be :)

    Mine have shared a room since my youngest was 5 months. We are moving to a bigger home at the end of the year and I am still going to have them share. They love being together and I think it has made bedtime easier because they have each other.

    Thanks ladies! 

    My step son is with us 50/50, and I was thinking that for now we will turn one of the extras into a playroom, we plan on possibly having another baby down the road, so I thought it may make it easier.

    I think being together has made bedtime easier for both, even though I thought it may make it worse in the beginning. They don't play through the night, and I'm hoping it will stay that way when the time comes to transition to toddler beds!

    Sounds like they enjoy sharing a room.  I'd keep them in like that until there's a request otherwise.  It's always nice to have extra space and like another poster said if one day you might add to you family it would be nice not to have to separate the boys and later move them back together.  Also, I love hearing how they enjoy sharing a room.  Our plan is to eventually have our DS's in one room.  It makes me happy to read stories about when it works well!

    They do love it, and I think it will continue to work out, especially since they are so close in age and will more than likely have the same interests. We are thinking we will keep them this way until they are old enough to ask, and for now we will turn the extra bedroom into a guest bedroom for DH's side of the family, and other relatives who live across the state.

    Thanks for all the advice ladies, you're all awesome!!
