The Top Bunk

Keira got to sleep on the top bunk last night in preparation for Elaina moving into her room soon. I have been debating whether or not I wanted her up there or if I just wanted her and Elaina to share the bottom bunk for awhile. We have had the ladder hidden on the top bunk so that they couldn't climb up there but I decided to get it down yesterday and see how they did with it. Keira was good at getting up the ladder and once I showed her the best way to get down she was going up and down it without any problem. Elaina was also really good at climbing it (she is fearless on the big toy at the park and this ladder was nothing compared to some there) but she was having a hard time getting down without falling or jumping part way (which she thought was fun, scared me and Rick out of our wits). We decided it would be ok so Keira got to finally sleep up top. She was so excited she went to bed 30 minutes early voluntarily which NEVER happens (it is usually a huge battle to get her to go to bed on time). So wish us luck in this new transition. I will probably start having Elaina take her naps on the bottom bunk and then if she does well there I will move her into that room in a couple of weeks. I am crossing my fingers that this all works out!!
