So, we made the move from the crib to a new 'big-girl' bed last Thursday night. Since then my nights have been a long series of interrupted sleep interspersed with worried sleeplessness. So, cranky, cranky? I don't know if that applies more to me or my daughter!
I have read that toddlers need about 12-14 hours of sleep in a 24 hour period, and I know I am one of those people who must have at least 8 hours of sleep to feel human. So, neither one of us is operating at our best. For baby girl this manifests as emotional outbursts that I imagine must be what tantrums and the 'terrible twos' look like if you have given birth to the spawn of Hyena crossed with a Banshee. For me, the sleeplessness has manifested itself in a much shorter fuse than normal, and I have found myself exiting the room and throwing things after particularly trying interactions with a baby girl who has found new ways to break the sound barrier with her screeching.
I am anxiously awaiting the moment when my daughter realizes her own new twin bed is just as cool as her sister's bed, and is just as safe as mommy and daddy's bed. Until that moment, however, please send some prayers for patience my way, and some good sleep vibes to the baby girl!

The main advantage of using this type of arrangement is that the child can carry his toys on the floor and stuff really just lying around and play with ease. due to the large width of the full size bunk bed with desk , it is easier for him to relax and play easily.
