Hannah's New Bed


Ok, so miracles do happen. Hannah has not slept in her own bed since she was born, although this is no fault of her own. Before we had kids, we always said they wouldn't sleep with us. I remember thinking our friends had strange beliefs because their kids slept with them. Then we had kids of our own and of course they slept with us. Sort of like when you go to Wal-Mart before you have kids and wonder why a mom can't handle her child who is screaming. Then you have a child of your own and understand completely. Anyway, Hannah has been begging for a loft bed. We told her she could have one when she started sleeping by herself. When Lake was born, Hannah started sleeping on the floor of our room. We thought this was a big step. Then some friends of ours offered us their loft bed because their daughter didn't like it (Thanks Bartigs!). Hannah has slept in her own bed since the loft went up. Meredith then decided that she should sleep in her own bed too. Now, you would think we would start Lake out in his own bed so we don't have this battle again, but we are gluttons for punishment I guess.

You are so funny. I'm surprised you are able to have more babies with all those kids in bed with you, wink wink!
I like Hannah's new bed, it looks great. I promise Lake will be just fine if you put him in his own bed, well maybe not now, he's probably already hooked on being next to mom and dad. Maybe the next one! he he he

It must be a BIG bed! ;) I keep telling mike we have to get a bigger bed. Although the kids aren't in with us often, it happens ENOUGH to warrant needing more space! Oh the things you do when kids arrive...
