Operation Room Sharing: Night One

Looking in from the door
We have always intended for Caleb and Alexa to share a room for the first few years so that we can continue to use the other bedroom to host a foreign exchange student. We are finally at the point where they go to bed around the same time, and Alexa is finally sleeping better. So last night, Dave disassembled the crib and reassembled it in Caleb's room. They went to sleep with no problem. Dave had to go in once because Caleb's CD had turned off, and Alexa was already sleep. Both kids woke up once during the night (this is fairly normal for our house) at different times, and they did not seem to bother the other one when they woke up. Alexa got up for the morning around 8:00. As you can see, the crib is right by the door, so I just opened the door and popped her out. Caleb continued to sleep until 9:00. I'm sure there will be some rough nights when I wish they didn't share a room, but the first night was a success, I would say.

Where is this room? The only room I know in our house with a crib in it has toys all over the floor.
