New Bed for Desmond

So we’re thinking about making Desmond up his own big boy room, with his own big boy bed. Because honestly as much as I love him sleeping with us, we really want to get him to bed around 9 and to be able to have him sleep alone till we come to bed around midnight, and he just isn’t safe in our bed doing so (plus he wakes if I get up, but that’s another story). So we’re thinking about making K-line’s room into Desmond’s big boy room.

So we’ve been looking at furniture for it. I think we found a bunk bed we like for it, we have looked at a bunch of places, the one we like is a pretty mapleish color and has a full bed on bottom (which is something we want) and a twin for the top bunk. You can get storage drawers for the space between the bed and the floor and the dresser is nice as well. We still need to check our IKEA, but I think we’ve mostly made up our mind on getting the one we’ve already seen. Hopefully he will be able to sleep in it all alone for a few hours every night so we can get some time without Desmond, it would be kind of nice to have a few hours for just me and Dan.

We figure a bed will work better then a crib, because he hates sleeping in his crib and won’t do it, and with his own grown up bed, I can nurse him down in it and get up rather then having to try to move him and wake him up.
