Things that other children have easily learned to sleep through, mine won't. Not sure what to do about that problem. I don't like the fact that I am creating sound/noise machine-dependent children. :-/ I agree that it seems to be the best solution for us during this time in our lives, while are children our young (and we live with our in-laws!), but in theory, I would love to have the machines out of their rooms when they get a little older. We'll see how it goes. And as small as they are (sound machines), it would be one less thing to have to pack on a trip (& one less thing to forget!). You are right that the walls in most UK flats are thin-thin. But I usually didn't have any trouble sleeping on Orchard and I'm not an especially sound sleeper. I'm not "dependent" on any background noise to sleep though. Unless, of course, it was during the day and there was extra noise outdoors [hello lawn bowlers! ;-)] or we had the windows open. (We did, however, start using sound machines for the boys to protect them from each other's noise!!) You definitely gotta love that Johnny Cash though . . . ha ha! "And It burns, burns, burns . . . the ring of fire." He only played it probably once every 3 months or so when we were living there though. He must be stepping it up a notch!?! Sorry! :-/ Did we warn you about that??

Just better sleepers. ;) Mine are exactly the same- I don’t feel like that we’ve created monsters or anything. Just better sleepers. ;)
