New Bed

We decided to have the girls share a room upstairs since the baby will need the bedroom downstairs. We thought bunk beds would be a great idea and made the purchase last week. We picked up the beds, bedding, and mattress and Jeff put them together last week Friday night. We really thought the girls would love sharing a room and were excited to start Jayden upstairs that night. Well...she had a different plan. Jayden loved climbing into Miya's top bunk, but wanted nothing to do with sleeping in her new "big girl bed". When we first switched Miya into a big girl bed upstairs she did great. She fell out a few times the first couple of nights, but still enjoyed sleeping upstairs. I guess we figured it would be the same with Jayden, especially since her big sister was up their to keep her company. Jeff laid down with Jayden for about an hour until she fell asleep. I woke up around 2:30 to a crash and crying...she had fallen out of bed. So Jeff ran up, tucked her in, and laid with her for awhile again. He said she was stuck in her sheets hanging off the bed....a little scary. Around 4:00 I woke up to some pitter-patters on the ceiling above our heads. Someone was walking around. So Jeff once again went to check it out, and was surprised to see little miss Jayden at the bottom of the stairs. After that she won and has been in her crib since. Miya asks her every day and night if she wants to sleep with her upstairs and she always answers "un-ah!" with a shake of her head. On the positive side, they both enjoy playing upstairs despite the temperature of the room. And Miya said "My bed is cool, and my daddy is really cool too". We'll try Jayden upstairs again in a month or two :)

Jackson thanks you for putting up more videos of the girls:) We miss you guys! The bunk bed looks great - hopefully Jayden will learn to enjoy staying up there at night as much as Miya does:)
