On 2/18/14 you officially moved into your own queen sized bed in your own room. You have slept in your parent’s bed ever since you were born. We were all happy to share a bed. It was part of our plan. We agreed that we would only move you into your own bed when you asked for it or if any one of us was no longer comfortable sharing a bed. Last year you asked for your own bed so we bought you a toddler bed but, that was just a novelty. You wanted to play with it and you would lay in it for a “nap” and would lay in it for an hour before you decided you wanted to be back in our bed for mimis. This time, pop wanted us to get you a big girl bed. You kept kicking him out of bed. He had to keep getting up to sleep in the guest room to get a good night’s rest.

This bed is the real deal. You were ready. You were more prepared than I was. I slept in YOUR bed for the first week. I cried the first night. After a week we were both ready to let go. I let you come in our bed anytime between 4am and 6:30am (when you wake up) to sleep. It’s been working out great.
