Bunk beds.

Great excitement - we have bunk beds!!
Next week we have a friend coming to stay for a few weeks from overseas, last time she visited Niave was still in a cot so we had plenty of beds, however time has moved on and Niave is very much out of a cot now so we were a bed short.

I wasn't sure how to solve the problem, there were a few options but most were quite expensive until I remembered that 1 of our beds was actually half of a bunk and the other half belonged to my cousin who is currently overseas herself and so wouldn't be needing it, my aunt and uncle very kindly agreed to loan it to us so we now have a set of bunk beds.

It is only temporary at this stage, we want to see how it works with the girls sharing and how the bunk itself works out (i.e. no broken bones etc.) if it works out we may consider making it a permanent arrangement. (Don't worry Tanya, you will get your bed back!!)

So far there are 1 or 2 issues, 1 being that it is very hot at the top of a bunk when you have a heatwave as we currently do (yes, they were right, hot air rises!) the fan that we have doesn't seem to work effectively so we are looking for a ceiling fan but it is proving hard to find. Last night Niave was supposed to sleep at the top for the first time as Abigail wasn't here but it was so hot that she ended up sleeping at the bottom - after a week of eager anticipation!!
We'll have to give her a turn on a cooler night.
