I worked a day shift on Friday, which hadn’t happened since February. Even then my day shifts had only been one Sunday out of 6 if that all winter long. So Lowell had the kids for a whole weekday; he had the great idea of getting the bunk bed ready for L to sleep on top. Which meant taking half the bed apart so that he could attach the ladder and railing. Once L got over his initial fear of being so high he was thrilled with his new bed, K was feeling the short end of the stick so Saturday we went mattress shopping. L got a new mattress which was also an upgrade in quality and K gets to sleep in a big girl bed.
Saturday night was a late night so when I carried her to her bed half asleep she did ask to sleep in her crib, but she so quickly fell asleep again that there were no more complaints. I don’t think that she has figured out that she can get out of bed when she has been sleeping. She crawls in and out all the time during the day, but she hasn’t yet gotten out of bed by herself in the morning.
Now we need to dismantle the crib and then maybe do a little rearranging. This picture makes it look like the kids can’t sit up on the top bunk, they can, they are just being silly. Although L has bumped his head a few times trying to get dressed in his bed.
That’s awesome! What fun and what a feeling the little ones must have of getting ‘bigger’.
Yeah, they didn’t stop chatting about it for at least a day or two. K is up and down the ladder as often as L. As a parent, you have to swallow your anxiety and hope for the best.
