New Bunk Beds

There are a few reasons we decided to get bunk beds for the girls:

1. Madelyn has wanted to share a room with Cassidy for quite some time. Although they are sleeping in the same room, most of Madi's toys are in her old room (the bunk bed room), and all of Cassidy's toys are in her old room.

2. About two weeks ago, Cassidy started crying saying she didn't want to be in her bed anymore because there was a "bat" in her bed. She would wake up in the night crying and crying saying she was scared.

3. We were hopeful that this would get Madelyn out of our bed and into a really neat bed of her own.

4. We figured it was time to get Cassidy out of the crib anyway...bat or no bat.

So, the girls have been in the beds for about a week. Some goals have been achieved and some are still works in progress. Madelyn has stayed in her bed for most of the night every night. Six out of the seven nights she has come to our bed very early in the morning.

Cassidy is no longer talking about being scared of the bat. But, she did mention that she thought she saw a bug one night. She has cried three out of the seven nights at some point during the night, but she is easy to console back to sleep. Two of the nights, Michael has fallen asleep in Cassidy's bed.

Either way the girls like the beds, and they have done a pretty good job of sharing their space.
