We now have an official big kid room, complete with bunk beds. I don’t know that we (mom and dad) were quite ready, but a friend’s neighbor was rearranging her own house and gave us a good deal on top quality beds that match the room perfectly.

Melina’s initial reaction: “That Kai’s bed” (points to bottom bunk) “That Mina’s bed” (points to top). Um, sorry babe. She quickly got over it and loves her large cave, full of her favorite stuffed animals and dolls.

Kai’s initial reaction: “Awesome!” (climbs up and starts bouncing around on top bunk). Us: “Kai, here’s the rule: You’re only allowed on the top bunk at night, when you’re sleeping. You’ll have to play down here.” Kai: “Whaaaat?” He’s a little less thrilled now.

Sleeping in it: The first night, Meli asked to go back into her crib after trying to settle down for an hour. But she’s now made it three full nights in the bottom bunk, without so much as a peep. The problem comes in the morning, when she inevitably stumbles and bonks her head when climbing down in her super-groggy morning state. She’ll learn.
