Big Bed

When we moved to our house last year, we bought Pumpkin a full-sized mattress set. We figured it was better to spend a little bit more now and get her a size that would last until she can buy a new set or gets married... whatever happens first. So we converted her crib into a bed and voilá! A big girl bed!

I remember thinking she looked so tiny is such a huge bed. Well, fast forward to last week, or 16 months later. JA was on a business trip for the whole week. When he got home on Friday not only was he exhausted, meaning no sex cuddling, but Pumpkin wanted to sleep in our room. The last few times that we let her sleep in our room she was doing so in what used to be her crib mattress, a tiny thing. It gave me mixed feelings seeing her there on the floor. I was so used to her pushing me off the bed! Anyway, back to Friday. We let her sleep in her small mattress. Saturday she wanted to sleep in our room again, in our bed. We tried explaining to her that she has a very pretty room, and a comfy bed but she didn't care.

Kids come up with the darnest things, so she complained that her bed was TOO BIG and she couldn't sleep there. JA being the engineer that he is, found a solution and pretty quick too. So your bed is too big, right? Well how about this? You sleep in the small mattress on the floor of YOUR room. And not only did it work, she has been sleeping there for the past 4 nights. Something tells me she will continue to do so for at least another week. But hey, if it works, why fix it? And we can get some cuddling also ;)
