Looks can be decieving, what seems to be just a typical metal framed bed is really the cause of much heartache for me. You see, all you Moms will understand. You have your little ones and tuck them in at night, you have a routine. For me it’s backrubs and special songs for each child. When we moved last year it was time for Dylan to get a new bed and we took him to Ikea to find one. He picked out a super tall loft style bed with desk underneath. Now don’t get me wrong, the bed is nice and it’s functional. But I have to tell you things changed when he switched to this bed. Tucking him in at night just ceased because the bed is so high up I can’t comfortably hang on for dear life while rubbing his back. It took something from me, and now he thinks he’s too big to be tucked in. I wasn’t quite ready to give that up. The fun songs just for him, now I still get a hug in the hallway but it’s just not the same. I want my little boy back. So that’s why I hate Ikea now, that loft bed made my boy grow up a bit more quickly than I was ready for. Sniff sniff
