Well, the day has come for me to go and check out toddler beds for boys. The triplets have graduated from their cribs, and they will be sleeping in beds starting tonight. When we go and look at the beds, the triplets will be going with us. This is so they can pick out the beds that they want.

Some of my friends just told me to get each of them a matching toddler bed and be done with it. Their reasoning was that I would not have to have the hassle of dragging them along and spending a long time waiting for them to make their choices. But, I’m not going to do things that way. I value my children’s opinions, and I feel like it is important for them to choose things on their own whenever they can. It helps them to develop a sense of identity and feel confident in themselves. And that is my goal to raise self-reliant and confident children. Letting them make their own choices is a good start.
