Cicily has a new bed and a new bedroom! We thought and thought and thought some more about what to do with Cicily after we had a baby and she could no longer sleep in a crib. Some complicating factors were: all the wires she was hooked up to at night (pulse-ox, feeding pump, humidifying mist), she's not physically able to get out of bed on her own, falling out of bed, limited space in her new room with Maya already in there. So, we came up with the idea for a day or trundle bed. That way Cicily would only be up off the ground a few inches. And we (hopefully) figured out ways around the wires.
Chris set up the new day bed last week and the girls tried it out. As you can see, they love it! It actually works much better than we anticipated because the bed we bought happens to have 2-3 inches of space from the top of the mattress to the top of the frame. So it's like Cicily's sleeping in a short box. She's done pretty well with the transition of sleeping on a new bed in a room with her big sister. Gotta love it when things work out better than expected!!
Maya sleeps on the top bed that Cicily's trundle fits under at night. Maya was so excited to have Cicily sharing her room, until Cis kept her up until 10pm the first night trying to play! They've both gotten used to it now though.

Your girls are so cute! We have a bed that was Emily's, that eventually Lily will use, and we loved it. And I know how you feel about accepting things. I think it's a continual process. One thing that always helped with Em was knowing that if Emily ended up not being able to do something, it was not because we didn't give her every opportunity to learn. Like you have done with Cicily.
I love trundle beds. Love the first pic of all three girls, the dog and baby doll...so sweet!
A trundle bed! Awesome! And sharing a room with Maya, what a big girl Cic is! I love your 4th of July post, so glad it was great this year. I also appreciate your acceptance post. Janalyn, you are an amazing woman and mother and your efforts really exemplify the meaning of charity and kindness.
Those are seriously the cutest pictures ever!! I really thought Sophie was a doll in the first picture. I would love to be a fly on the wall that first night when Cis kept wanting to play - so cute!!
