Layla's bed

One of our issues setting up our house this time, was what to do with a bed for Lj. I'm not a big fan of toddler beds as they are useful for such a short time. We'd like to have a bed for guests, so we were sort of hoping to have a guest bed in her room and that she'd sleep on that.

Haven't found a bed rail-type thing yet that will work, so that option is out. Border issues are making shopping for the rail a wee bit more complicated.

THANKFULLY, she has not had any trouble getting used to the mattress on the floor thing. This is FAR more likely to be what she'll sleep on whenever we travel around in this part of the world and I'm glad it hasn't been an issue. She still does fall/slide off (=

I took these pictures because she is VERY into being a mama these days and this is her baby going down for a reading nap. Lj still does two naps a day - the morning one being a reading nap where she lies in bed with books. This baby is apparently drowning in books (=

So sorry to hear about your border issues. More stress, just what you need, huh? Lucy has been sleeping in a mattress on the floor for almost three years now! She has a roll-out bed beneath Maggie's bed and they share a room but Henry and Maggie (who used to share a crib) always want to sleep in the same room and she wants to be with them so we put the mattress on the floor. Then, because of heat and the cost of a/c, 6 months out of the year we all sleep in the same room anyway, so all the kids are on local style, low mats on the floor, overlapping. Then there are no worries if they slide off!
