Changing Beds

For some time now Emily has been trying to talk Ally into switching beds. Emily is on the top and Ally is on the bottom. I was a little surprised that Em would want to switch to the bottom but didn't think much about it. Well Ally is a major creature of habit and refused to leaver her beloved bottom bunk. But one night as I was putting her to bed she asked to sleep on sissy's bed. I said sure and tucked her in up there. A little later Emily saw where her sister was at and was so excited. She crawled into bed and then promptly positioned herself in a cubby type shelf near the wall. I told her she couldn't sleep in the shelf and to get into the bed.

Later that night as Mike and I came upstairs to go to bed, I checked on them. Sure enough, she wasn't in the cubby hole. But she wasn't in bed either. I couldn't find her right away. As I go into her room a little more, this is where I found her, sound asleep...


She obeyed, but still found a fun place to sleep, on her desk that's built into the bed. The funny part, the next night after our softball game, we checked on our sleeping kids to find that Emily had taken her top bunk back. I guess if you can't sleep on the shelves then what's the fun of the bottom bunk?
