The new beds for the girls arrived yesterday. Donna had gotten one of the cribs disassembled and out of their room when the delivery truck showed up to deliver the beds, but they helped with the second one. It wasn't long before the new beds were all assembled and in place.
The girls enjoyed playing on them all day (mostly they played "sleep"), so I was a little worried if they would be able to go to sleep easily. As it turns out, perhaps aided by the fact they didn't get a nap yesterday, they went to sleep quite quickly. When I went to bed, I couldn't help but to peek in on them: Amanda was curled up on the sheet but without covers holding her pillow, and Elena was under the covers on her tummy with her arms spread wide (hugging the bed?). Neither woke up during the night.
I thought they might decide to make up on their own and get out of bed this morning, but they didn't. We went in their room at 6:33 AM to wake them up. We found Amanda asleep on the floor next to her bed! I don't know if she fell out and didn't cry, or climbed out (asleep or awake). She said she didn't cry but "pretended to cry". She didn't seem to be bothered by the fact that she was on the floor, at any rate. We can get her some bedrails if she needs them.
