So I just found out that Carl has been sleeping on his floor beside his bed all week long. Carl has the T-style bunk beds in his room and he loves to curl up on the vent (under his window, between the wall and bottom bunk) with a blanket and his pillow to read. I have always thought that was so cute, but this is something completely different. Carl does use a blanket on top, but he is sleeping directly on the carpet with stuffed animals as pillows while his normal pillows are on his empty bed.
OK, so you may think I am a mean mom for forcing my child into his very own bed! When my mom moved in, I offered the queen size bed to Carl because he seemed so reluctant to sleep in his bunk bed. By the way, he never sleeps on the top bunk anyway. Carl actually cried because I wanted to take away his "special" bed! And yet, he continues to sleep on the floor.
Mom, Carl, and I spent a week in St. Louis with my brother and his family. Carl was suppose to sleep in his sleeping bag on Nathan's floor. Carl refused. I said he could sleep on the floor with Grandma and me, but he wound up sleeping with me in my niece's single bed all week long! And yes, he took up most of the bed. I had to keep reminding him that I was being nice and sharing my bed! (Auntie Lisa and Carl had similar "discussions" during Christmas break.)
I love my son and all his little quirks, even sleeping on his bedroom floor when there are two very good beds in his room!

I slept on the floor of my room for a couple of years when there was a perfectly good bed in my room. I think it was because I thought I was safer on the floor - that was during my "burglars are going to get me in the middle of the night" phase of life. I think I thought they wouldn't expect someone to be on the floor. I got over it.
It was nice to not have to make a bed every morning, though.
