What do you think about kids sharing a bed?  

Our daughters are both on the small side. We couldn't afford two beds so we thought about having them share a twin bed. They were both small enough that they could sleep on either end and barely touch their feet. My dad, though, freaked out at the thought. He insists that every child needs a bed of their own. I find that odd because just 50 years ago it was normal for kids to share beds. My mom shared a bed with 2-3 of her sisters (a full bed). It has only recently in history that children have had their own beds as the norm.

In the end we opted for "junior" beds from Ikea. They are longer then a todder bed but narrower. Each one cost us about $75 total. The girls love them. Now we just have to convince our son to sleep in a bed.
