New Bed

Today we get a new bed for my son.  He is 4 years old and for the last 2 years of his life (and the entire existance) of his little sister, he has been sleeping in my king size bed with my husband and I.  It gets a little cramped to say the least.  My son tends to spin and toss and turn during the night, as does my husband, who is in denial about the whole thing.  So I am stuck between them both because A cannot sleep next to B for obvious reasons!  We tried a toddler bed for my son when he was almost 2 and it worked for about 4 weeks, until his sister was born.  I don't know whether it was the combination of her being in my room in a bassonet or just that he wasn't quite ready for the transition but either way, it didn't work.  Now, I know some mothers out there would say what a lazy person I am for not getting up and taking him into his bed after he falls asleep in my bed, and I completely agree!  It is sheer laziness that keeps me in my bed night after night.  But finally, I am trying a big boy bed.  It is being installed as we speak.  I ordered a bunk bed from Ashley Furniture and it looks great.  By the way, any mothers reading this should consider shopping with Ashley because they have wonderful customer service and excellent prices.  The bunk bed is a full on the bottom and twin up top.  I had my reservations about buying a bunk bed but I think it is exactly what I need to finally free my side of the bed!  Wish me luck!!!
