I was having a terrible time sleeping a few days ago when my cold was at its worst, so Phil decided to have a "sleepover" in Jackson's room one night to let me have free reign to toss and turn all over our bed. It was nice to have the whole bed to myself for one night, and I'm sure Phil got a better night's sleep than he would have listening to me hack and cough and snore and toss and turn all night. Jackson was very excited to have Daddy sleep in his room with him, and also to get to sleep on the top bunk for the very first time! I don't have a comforter or anything for that top bunk yet, so Phil just put a sleeping bag up there for J. He loved it!
Phil slept fine in there, but luckily he came back to our bed the next night. Actually, no, the next night he slept in the guest room because I was still miserable and up all night long (and isn't he a sweet hubby to sleep in the other room instead of kicking me out of our bed?), but he came back the night after that. :)
Jackson now sleeps on the top bunk every single night (and for naps, too). I'm so glad he likes it, because the tentative plan for when the baby comes is to have Emmett sleep on the bottom bunk and J sleep on the top. I'm still not totally on board with that plan, though, since they're both so young and I don't want to mess up the good nighttime sleep and naps that currently happen at our house. Plus, we're not sure that Emmett will stay in bed and obey when we say it's bedtime! Our other option is to get another crib and put E in the playroom/guest room to sleep. I don't really want to do that, either, though, because that room is already crazy crowded with toys, a bookcase, and a guest bed. We really need to get serious about planning this out, though, because baby will be here soon! I think we'll probably try the bottom bunk for E and see how it works, and if it's a disaster we'll move him to the guest room.

Hope you are on the mend, Heather. So sorry to hear how sick you've been. That's great that Jackson now loves sleeping up there! I was worried he might not want to leave his snuggly little "cave" underneath. Let us know how it goes with Emmett.....staying in bed.....yeah, right.....:>)
Love you all!
Your boys are adorable, Heather! How cute that Jackson loved his sleepover with Phil. Hopefully Emmett will comply and stay in the bottom bunk when the baby arrives! Hope you are feeling better now!
