Sister Love

My middle two girls have shared a room for the past 4/5 years. They have bunk beds in their room, and until last year Kiki slept in the top bunk and Baya in the bottom. Baya still ended up in my bed most nights {which I have to say I loved, nothing beats a little kiddo to snuggle!}. When we found out Vega was on the way, I wanted to try and get her to stay in her own bed all night, mainly so she wouldn’t be disturbed by me feeding the baby in the night. After a couple of weeks of taking her back each time she came through, we finally got there… however I found out that she’d started going up into Kiki’s bed to snuggle her instead ;)

I’d find them in the morning, both snuggled up together, a tangle of limbs and duvets, two little heads sticking out one end. A few months ago we made the bottom bunk into a sofa {read full of teddy bears!} and they topped and tailed in the top bunk all night long. Many nights they’ll both end up snuggled up together at one end all night long.

I often joke that they’re like an old married couple. They spend their days bickering and arguing, then giggling like crazy together. Come bedtime they are inserarable. When Baya went away on an overnight with the Rainbows recently, poor Kiki couldn’t sleep without her bedmate. Kiki has a Brownie camp booked for a couple of months time and Baya has already told me I’ll have to sleep in her bed for the three nights Kiki is away!

The girls are desperate for cabin beds, they’re on the cards for next year. In the meantime, they will be sharing the master bedroom in the new house {we figured it was only fair they had the biggest room as they were sharing}, and as we have a new bedbase coming to go with our new mattress, they are actually going to have our old king size bed to share for now. We just got them this mattress topper to add a new lease of life to the old mattress, they are so excited to sleep in a big bed and the topper makes a huge difference!
