Big Girl Bed

For a while we had a twin mattress on P’s floor to get her used to a big girl bed. No problem! Then she got a cool net that hung from the ceiling and went around her bed. That was fun til C sat on the tulle and ripped the thing out of the ceiling. Then we brought up the stand and box spring. Not as interested. So we bought her a super cute comforter cover. Eh. She’s much rather be in our bed. She’s even tried to sleep on the floor next to me. Poor little thing. I get it. Being near mom & dad after being away from them all day is all she wants. But there’s that part of me that says “she should be in her own bed and not on my floor” even though it’s not really harming anyone.

Yesterday I threatened with “if you don’t sleep in your bed, I’m giving it away to another little girl”. Kinda worked. She wandered around our room until 10pm, crying and yawning and begging to come into our bed. Finally got her into hers and she was asleep. Surprise surprise to wake up this morning and think “how’d she get in our bed?!” (and full on blame Chris since I knew I hadn’t brought her in.) Only to find I was in her bed. Sigh. Went in to help her last night and apparently got a little too cozy laying next to her to rub her back.
