Back in May, we ordered Camden and Claire bunk beds. When they came in, I wasn't real sure how Camden would do on the top bunk, therefore, wanted her to sleep on the bottom bunk for awhile. After one attempt at the top bunk, she was scared and agreed that she needed to be on the bottom. It all worked out because Claire was quite content in her crib, and honestly, I wasn't sure if I wanted her in a big girl bed at that point. She was already growing up so fast, I didn't want to rush anything (like the fact that I haven't really pushed potty training, either). Well, it's the beginning of a new year and Camden has been asking about the top bunk off and on now for a couple of weeks. So, at nap time today I asked her if she wanted to sleep on the top bunk. You would have thought Santa had brought her some more gifts...her eyes lit up SO BIG and said OH YES!!! So, I dug out the ladder to the bunk bed, which had been hidden in her closet, and attached it to the bed. After a few rules, like no going up and down the ladder, she said goodnight. I did go in a couple of times to check on her, but sound asleep she was. What a big girl! I guess tonight we'll be able to tell if this was a good move. Sleeping a couple of hours on the top compared to all night when it's dark might be a little different scenario. And, just in case you're wondering, Claire's going to stay in her crib for a while longer!

hey jen!! we were literally just looking at bunk beds today for sophie, she really wants one and we figure we can take them apart and use them as 2 separate beds when the twins move to a big bed. it looks like camden is doing pretty good in it; maybe i should give it a go! thanks for your excitement about our babies; it is crazy, but i think it will be fun, too!! stay in touch, happy 2009!! ~meg
Hey Jenn...Your girls are so precious! I can't believe how big they have gotten. They grow up way too fast!
meg-i think the bunk beds will be great!! i'm sure sophie will do fine. tonight is the first night camden has slept up there and i've been in there at least 5 times checking on her, but she's doing great. i'm sure that rail will hold her in:) you're very smart for thinking ahead...our beds come apart too, so we could always have 2 twin beds, which is nice to have that flexibility. i would go for it...esp. if sophie's been wanting them:) she'll be thrilled!!
