the things we do for our kids...

Mayra has been having assorted issues with her bed/room.
She was having trouble going to sleep at night, and or was very restless in the middle of the night, and I was finding her on the floor on a fairly regular basis.
Don't ask me to fully explain my reasoning, but I ended up buying her a queen size platform bed, and letting her have my mattress for a trial.
The mattress is quite old, and starting to get uncomfortable for me, but she never seemed to mind it. I bought a poofy mattress cover for it, and had a set of wooby sheets, so it's nice and soft.
Mayra was tired enough to go straight to sleep last night, and stayed in bed all night instead of getting up to play or moving to the floor in the middle of the night.
Being the genius that I am, I plopped Mayra's twin mattress on top of my box spring and attempted to sleep on it. Ugh. I though I would never fall asleep, then had hideous leg cramps and night sweats most of the night. Oh well.
