Things That Shouldn’t Go Bump in the Night II
2:20 am.
THUMP. “Waaah!”
Me, up, out of bed, and saying, “G, wake up, I need you” as I rush into Drake and Guppy’s room, home to the new bunk bed. (I wish there was a video of this to submit to the Mom Olympic committee: how many seconds from sleep to rescue of a hurt child.)
2.5yo Guppy had fallen out of bed. He was upset, but unhurt–cried for a while, asked for some water and settled down. G, still groggy, wondered why I’d woken (awakened?) him.
And, to show that, in so many ways, kids are so alike, here is the story of when Drake had trouble with his crib.

Here I thought clicking on “Drake’s version” would be Drake’s telling his version of how Guppy fell out of bed. That would have been interesting and creative for sure.

Um, good, Ruthie, because so did I–even as I wasn’t sure how she would do it!

Edited for clarity. Thanks, gals.
Drake slept through the whole Guppy falling out of bed thing.

Chris from bunkbedspedia sent me links to their articles on bunk bed safety, here and here. Good advice, especially this:
Absolutely no fooling around on the bunk bed, especially the top bunk!
Now if the boys would only LISTEN to that advice, we’d be in business.
