Teigue's Lonely Bed

I know what you're thinking: "Wait, it's 9:10 p.m., why is Teigue's bed empty?! Have you gone mad keeping him up well into prime be by yourselves time?!" Before you start thinking that Brady and I have turned all batty and are keeping Teigue up late, letting him sleep in our bed, couch, whatever...let me explain. 

You see, a few months back Danpa came to visit. In previous visits from family and friends, we usually gave the guest Teigue's bed (since it is a nice full size bed and pretty darn comfortable), while Teigue slept with us in our bed. Well, this is all fine and good except that Teigue REALLY likes to kick Brady and the back all night long and enjoys sleeping sideways. Which means Brady and I really don't get much sleep. Since Danpa was staying for a few days, Teigue sharing our bed would just not work- enter old crib mattress. At one point Teigue was in the teeny toddler bed that Stella now has and Stella was in her crib, so we had two mattresses. Well, one mattress was just hanging out all lonely in our storage room- it was brought up Teigue to sleep on in Stella's room while Danpa slept in Teigue's room. I figured that after Dan left the mattress would make a perfect couch of sorts- perfect for reading and telling stories in Stella's room. Well, I was wrong.

You see, Teigue has decided that his super cozy, full sized big boy bed is just not cutting it. Instead, he has deemed the super small, quite hard and not so comfortable crib mattress a much better bed. For the last 3 months, Teigue has been sleeping on the floor in Stella's room.

Some nights, they have even fallen asleep together in her bed. I mean, why share Teigue's full sized bed when there is a perfectly teeny tiny doll sized toddler bed to cozy up in?

I always knew that my kids would sleep in the same bed at one point in their lives (I loved sleeping in my brother's room when I was little), but for some reason I always figured it would be Stella heading into Teigue's room. Never occurred to me that it would be the other way around.
