Any tips for transitioning a 5 year old and 2 year old to the same bedroom?

Same sex? Do they share willingly? Maybe color code or have specific areas where each child’s things go. It’ll be hard to keep the 2-year old from getting into the 5-year-old’s stuff. Do they have the same bedtime?
This is a tough one. I see fights ahead unless you have prepared the older one for a roommate ever since you got pregnant. Maybe put locks on 5’s things? Twos get into EVERYTHING. Or maybe just use the bedroom for sleeping and changing clothes if you have other areas where each can store possessions and play separately and together.
Is 5 in kindergarten? Do you work outside the home? It’s important to save individual time for the older child with both you and dad, if he’s in the picture.
