Bed - a Luxury
Yes, we have finally bought a bed for my little girl, Xue Rou. It’s a single bed with pull-out. I was so excited about it just as much as my daughter. I asked her to put some of her stuff toys next to her bed, on the window sill to make it more cosy. Even she invited her Barbie to share the bed with her…so cute!!
Now she can have no excuse to sleep on our bed as she always said she loves our bed and would want to sleep with us, kicking one of us into her mattress at the bottom of our bed. Yahoo!!!
Well, I am not having high hopes that she will stay put in her own bed in her own room but it’s a start. Training her at this age is necessary. She’s turning 4 by May which is very soon now. I still wonder how the westerners manage to get their kids to sleep in their own beds, in their own rooms….beats me man!!
Having a bed at age 4 is truly miraculous because when I was young, my whole family slept on the floor with our thin mattresses. This make me reminisced the time when I bought my very own bed for the first time, which is the bed me and hubby shared now..yes, at the age of 27….hahhaha…Me and my sis used to share a double deck when we were renting rooms and still in college. That double deck bed was bought with mum’s money, so it does not count.
Guess, having a new bed now will be an event my own little family calls for celebration. There will be opening ceremony with sparkling juices (a.k.a champagne ) for everyone, all with happy faces and lots of memories to cherish in years to come.
May we have sweet dreams and sleep tight every night in these wonderful beds, a luxury we tend to take for granted…
