Room Restructuring

One of the wooden panels from our queen-sized bed was broken last week. So, we had to replace it with another new bed. We are keeping the mattress of course, because it was still very new. So, since we were moving the furniture a bit, the idea of separating Lunz bed from us came into mind. Firstly, this was because he likes to twist and turn even during his sleep and although he has his own bed, he will still turned around and landed on our bed (because our bed were joint to each other at the same height). And this woke me or daddy up, whoever was sleeping next to him on that time. And it happened many times in a single night. Secondly, we thought that he was old enough to sleep separated from us. Sooner of later, he will have his own room and he must get used to sleeping by himself. So, we started off now still in the same room but separate beds for the time being. Thirdly, the decision was made due to he does not consume night feeding anymore, so, I wouldn't fear him waking up in the middle of the night looking for me.

At first, we thought of discarding the wooden frames and just lay the bed on the floor. Lunz steel bed will remained at its height. But, I worried that without our bed as the barrier, he will roll down from the bed. So, we proceed with fixing the wooden frame for our queen-sized bed but dismantled his steel one instead. We replaced it with a wooden roller bed. Now, the height of his bed including the mattress was only 24 cm from floor length. We took out the roller from the bed, of course, to stop the bed from moving. With this new height, we wouldn't be afraid that he will roll down from his bed and knock himself nor him turning around till he wake us all up. His bed was perfectly placed next to our bed but of course much lower and not the same height anymore.

It worked out pretty fine. One the first night, he kept rolling down from his bed on to the floor. He noticed that he has fallen out from bed and quickly climbed back to resume his sleep. I wasn't worried because at that height, he couldn't hurt himself. On the second and third night, he has gotten more used to it. He didn't roll down anymore but occasionally tried to squeeze himself up on to our bed to sleep with us. We placed him back again, he did not complained and fell back into sleep immediately. I assumed he was still blurred.

Besides that, another change was daddy now sleeps next to him instead of previously me.
