@Anagram: Almost exactly the same here.

We just started last month. DS1 is 3 and DS2 is 18 months. Both mostly STTN with actually DS1 at the time having more random wakeups. So far it's gone well. It is DS1's room. He sleeps in a crib converted into the toddler bed. He's been in that for almost a year. For some reason (that I do not want to jinx) he does not get out of his bed until we come in. We first put the pack n play in DS1's room and put DS2 in there for nighttime as a trial, but still did naps separate. After a week we moved his crib in there. It's gone really well. I think they both feel more comfortable with the other one in there. DS2 usually sleeps through DS1's wake ups. If DS2 wakes up, sometimes DS1 sleeps through and other times he starts yelling at him to be quiet. When that happens we just take DS2 into our bed. We moved DS2's bedtime a little later so we can put them down at the same time. Occasionally DS1 will stay up later and then we do stories in another room and put him down quietly so we don't wake DS2. Sometimes it takes them longer to settle down for naps, but overall not too bad. Good luck

@birdofafeather: same!

how does it work for naps though??? LO1 has toys and books in his room--when we move LO2 in there, and have her do her naps in the crib, is the room just off limits to LO1 while she's sleeping?

We are on night two.
Little sister is fifteen months and big sister is three and a bit.
So far so good.
Little sister goes to bed at seven and big sister at eight.
The younger one is very easy to put down and is usually asleep quickly. The older one is harder to put to be but she was very sensitive to her sleeping sister.
Will update tomorrow.

Abort mission!!!

not good.

We did it when DD1 was right around 3 and DD2 was just a little more than 1. DD1 slept through the night but sometimes had night terrors; DD2 was still waking up once at night looking to come hang out with us (she had just self-weaned). Honestly, I expected some drama (not going to sleep, one waking the other up) - but moving DD2 farther away from me helped her self-settle, and while DD1 sometimes still has night terrors, DD2 is pretty immune to it unless it gets crazy out of control. I kind of know the threshold of each kid to the other's noise, and step in when I need to to avoid having both kids up. About a month ago, DD1 got a vomiting bug and was up in the night, pacing around, puking, crying, etc., and DD2 slept through the whole thing.

It's so sweet hearing them chat to each other at night, but sometimes they're a little extra silly/wild at bedtime. They totally gang up on me. DD2 is 23 months and DD1 will be 4 this summer. They share somewhat out of necessity (it's a HUGE room - like 8 ft by 20 ft) because the other "bedrooms" in our house are a nursery alcove off the master or a basement bedroom, but I think they'd probably choose to share even if they didn't have to.
