So, why did we buy the bunkbeds?

About a week ago, we got some new bunkbeds for the girls. My reasoning was that Bethany was getting too big for her toddler bed, and I figured they'd have more room in the bedroom if we got bunkbeds, instead of a single bed and Meagan's toddler bed. In theory, there'd still be room for crib, too, for future use (there isn't really--the bunkbeds take up more room that I'd thought).

Anyway, we've been looking on and off for a couple of months, and the girls had great fun climbing all over the beds at all the stores we went to. All in all, it seemed like it would all work out. So we bought some beds, and they were delivered last Wednesday. I could tell something wasn't going to work out completely as planned when Bethany refused to even climb up there the first day.

She's gotten over that, though, and both the girls climb up and down with ease. The problem is that Bethany absolutely will not sleep on the top. Right now, they both sleep on the bottom bunk, one at each end. I don't really get how they work it out between them. I've seen them rolling into each other and tangling legs, but I've never heard them fight about it. It's odd, but they don't seem to mind. It can't last forever, though. Sooner or later I'm going to have to get Bethany up there. Sigh.
