![]() No, when it’s bedtime, they’d all rather crowd into the bunk beds in the shared room of their middle brothers. I thought he’d really like it, and he does, though not for sleeping. Ditto for our oldest son’s bed, which looks kind of like a couch and gives his room a “studio apartment” feel. ![]() The brand-new bed we bought our youngest remains in virtually perfect condition, since he has slept there on only a handful of occasions. But at night, every night, we go through the same song and dance as they ask the inevitable question: “Mom, can I sleep with my brothers?” We’ve lived in our house for a year now, and they do love their rooms - during the day. You know what they say about the best-laid plans… Now that they had plenty of space, I was determined that they’d have the best rooms ever. I stockpiled fun, kid-friendly decor for months, buying a picture here and a lamp there, and decorated their new bedrooms with bright colors and cute furniture. The house was large enough for our oldest and youngest to have rooms to themselves, and our middle two shared the biggest room - which seemed utterly cavernous in comparison to their old one. So when we looked for a new house, bigger was our first priority.Īnd when we moved, they went from cramped, shoebox-sized bedrooms to rooms that were almost double the size of their old ones. But as our family grew - and grew up - we figured it was more important for them to have their own domains. Our babies co-slept, so they were in our bed most of the time anyway, and as long as they had a place to play, they were happy. When my kids were very small, putting them in the same room wasn’t a huge deal.
