Transitioning sharing a room

DD will be two in about a week. She is climbing out of her crib like crazy. We need the crib for new baby by June.

We will be buying bunk beds and DD and DS 5 will be sharing a bedroom. Any tips on transitioning with sharing a bedroom? Right now they go to bed at different times so should we try to make it the same time? DS is excited for the bunk beds and will be on the top bunk.

I'm not sure anyone will have any earth shattering advice but knowing that someone has done this and it was successful would be great to hear!

    Does DD go to bed first? Does DS go to bed quietly and easily? If you don't think putting them to bed at separate times will be an issue, go for it. If their bedtimes are fairly close together or you think the one going to bed later will wake the other one- maybe try to put them to bed at the same time.

    I think it may take DD some time to adjust to being in a bed- can you change the crib to a bed (if it's convertible) now to give her some time to get used to it? 

    I would put them together sooner rather than later so DD doesn't think new baby = crib gone. I would also put her in a bed sooner rather than later for the same reason- plus, it's scary that she's climbing out.
