New Bed

26-03-2007

We ordered a set of bunk beds for Bailey's room last weekend, in preparation for the day when Bailey and Bella share one room and the (expected) new arrival can have a room to his-self, and Jenny and I can start to act like a married couple, and have our own room to ourselves.

For the last week I've been off work ill, with a chest infection to top all chest infections and all week I have kept reminding myself that before we put Bella in a Bunk-bed situation it would be wise to convert her cot into the mini, teenie-weenie little 'cot-bed' and give her the freedom of the upstairs landing and any subsequent room that runs off it.

We finally got round to it yesterday, and for her nap Bella was very obliging, she only got out of bed once and then slept well. The evening however was a different story. I'm not sure how many times Jenny and I heard her feet pattering around up there. In the end Jenny put her back in bed and waited at the top of the stairs, just out of sight of the top stair-gate. Bella took it pretty steadily, a few steps at a time and as soon as she caught sight of Jen, she turned on her heals and made a run back to the safety of her room.

A pretty successful first night I think. I'm just waiting for the night I wake with her tucked up between us.
