The kids absolutely love their new bunk beds! They have been set up for 12 days now, and, so far, all of our parental hopes have been fulfilled. The kids are happy to sleep in their room (except for the first night of an ear infection for Ethan), bed time is smooth and enjoyed by all involved, Caleb can fall asleep even while Ethan is chatting to himself at night, the boys are enjoying the bonding benefits of sharing a room without having "access" to each other when they are supposed to be sleeping, and their room looks GREAT! We have lots more floor space in their bedroom for doing the puzzles, games and exercises that are part of our morning routine. And I don't know if it is exhaustion from the holidays or fighting off winter viruses or the bunk beds, but nap time has made a comeback since we got home from Florida. Both boys are napping every day for at least an hour, and still going to bed by 8:00 every night. Morning is still around 6:00 am (give or take 30 minutes), but that has always been true no matter what we do during the day. The only thing that isn't fun is changing the top bunk bedding, but it is definitely worth it for all of the other pluses. Thanks so much for a great Christmas gift, Nanna & Papa!
(FYI, there is a picture of Ethan on the top bunk on Christmas morning, but the house rule is that Ethan is not allowed on the top bunk at all. Two little boys that high off the floor is a formula for disaster :)
