First, a little background.
You know of course that The Peanut is out of the crib and sleeping in her big girl bed.
You may also recall that I once posted a photo of my home here. It’s a 1940 bungalow with two bedrooms and a half bath upstairs and two on the main floor with a full bath. Mona and I sleep downstairs and The Peanuts room is upstairs.
There is a baby gate up there to keep her off the stairs, but she’s pretty good on them now so we rarely use it anymore. (I know what you’re thinking, and no, she didn’t fall down the stairs. Just wait.)
This morning however we had a little incident. Somewhere around 3 AM The Peanut woke up crying and looking for her blankie. She sometimes loses it in her bed. She settled back down after a minute or two and then had another short episode about 30 minutes later.
I finally got back to sleep around 4 AM.
At 5:45 Mona’s alarm went off. She hit the snooze and I thought I heard a little cough from near the foot of the bed. I called The Peanut’s name but she didn’t answer. Mona thought I was mistaken. But as soon as we started talking a bit, The Peanut showed up.
Apparently she decided she’d had enough of the big girl bed and come downstairs. The good news is that we have a very considerate little girl. Instead of waking us up or crawling into our bed, she simply displaces one of the dogs from its doggie bed.
That’s right. The Peanut slept on the floor in the dogs bed last night. No covers, and the dog won’t stay in there with her. So she ends up sleeping on the floor without the benefit of a fur coat or even her blankie.
Would you like to know the worst part?
This was the second time it's happened.

That is hilarious. Sissy won't even get out of her bed until I hear her on the monitor and then go in her room. Buddy was the same way as a little guy... She must be extra adventurous!
Aw.. that is so sweet! lol
Have you thought about moving the Peanut into the 2nd downstairs bedroom?
We haven't really. The second bedroom down stairs is our office and it's kind of by default.
The pervious owners closed off the closet and used it to double the size of our bedroom closet. So there's no closet here (I'm using the office now).
They also bumped out the bathroom wall to make an inset vanity and they did it rather poorly. It cost us about 8 square feet or so making placing any furniture a bit difficult.
Mona wants to use it as a Nursery one day, but I'm fighting it. I don't want to try and set up an office in the basement, and it would leave us without a TV on the main floor again.
