On Sunday James made the somewhat rash decision that it’s time to put down the bunk bed ladder. He had some kind of theory that we’d put the ladder down for 6 months, chaperone the boys for a period of time, and then gradually transition Jake to the top bunk when the novelty wore off.
That night, Jacob begged to sleep up top. Only one problem. Well, two problems if you consider the instant transition a problem. Problem number two is that the top bunk is where we keep all the alcohol, tobacco, firearms, and explosives. Plus the ladder to access them.
OK, I’ve over-embellished. It’s where we keep the light sabers, lasso, fishing pole, fishing nets, pointy pirate flag, bows and arrows, and the beach ball. Access to these items requires demonstration of manners (e.g. Mama, may I have my weapons, please?) and a background check.
So on Monday night I clear off the bunk and Jakey spends his first night at a higher elevation. I had to stuff Euro-shammed pillows on the side next to the window/wall since we demonstrated that he could in fact fit in the crevice. James assures me he’ll move the other “fence” up to the top this weekend.
I just re-read the warning message pasted on the top bunk. Remind me to remind you not to read the warning on your bunk bed.
just read an idea to prevent kids from rolling out of bed….take a foam noodle (you know for swimming) and tuck it under the bottom sheet on the edge of the mattress
Cool idea– we may need to try that with Nate when we move him to the bottom bunk. IF we ever move him. I kind of like holding him prisoner in his crib.
you are so entertaining. love this.
