Twin beds

We have finally gotten the girls twin beds. They are actually bunk beds but we are not bunking them at the moment. One of the beds has a trundle too for little Landis when she is ready. They like them but I find I like them just as much. Sometimes during the day I just go back there and flop myself down on Piper’s bed and have a little siesta, ha! So awesome. Generally I can hear the girls and know exactly what they are doing but it is just a nice quiet place, a happy place.

We still have the toddler beds set up in our room and they see use just about every night when the girls come in and make themselves at home. Jason and I are sacked out and hardly notice them enter unless someone needs to go potty and then they wake us up. I mean you ask them if they need to go potty for 3 years and it is a hard habit to break for them to not tell you when they need to go, ha!

Anyway, baby steps and they do like their new beds. We are planning to sell the toddler beds and have been encouraging them to stay in their rooms at night. Sometimes Piper will go a few days staying in her room but not Lela. However I am so not worried about it because the most important thing is that everyone gets sleep no matter where it occurs IMHO.
