Of beds and rolling off it

Once upon a time, Niki slept in her baby cot, she slept in it since she was the littlest baby. Her baby cot is the absolute cutest, we bought it ready for her about 2 months before she arrived. And we use to look at it, talked and really looked forward to the time when we can see our baby girl sleep in it. When she finally arrive, it was perfect for her..
Soon as petite as she was she outgrew her cot and it was giving her claustrophobia and she began to drop hints that she wanted to sleep in our bed. Hints like waking up at night with hands outstretched and pointing to our bed, which was really not a hint right..
Of course for a few nights we ignored it lar but at last we relented and let her sleep with us but it got to be so crowded (afterall 3 of us in a queen sized bed, that's stretching it) so much so that I really had problems sleeping coz I didn't have enough space to even turn, and of course we were really worried that we might suffocate the little chipmunk.
So we realized that we really have to settle this problem before;
i) I myself roll off and fall out of the bed
2) We both start looking like pandas due to lack of sleep (that's Vicky & me, Niki usually just occupies most of the bed)
3) Vicky sleeping position was so permanent the whole night with his legs hanging out on the side (poor thing!)..
4) Nki got to comfortable sleeping with us!!!!
And so we trotted out and bought her a single roll out bed all for herself, bedding stuffs from Ikea and the duvet set from Aussino, we wanted it to be super comfortable & of course attractively multi-colored so that she would actually love sleeping on her own bed..and guess what.......

She absolutely loves her bed!! Mommy likes it too!
Mission accomplished, Mommy & Daddy has finally got enough shut eye, and Niki has been sleeping in her own bed for nearly 2 months now! Yesterday night we tucked her in as usual but in the middle of the night we heard a small cry, followed by a few sniffs..Niki accidentally rolled of her bed onto the carpeted floor, and we thank God that hers is a roll out bed so there's really no impact of rolling of at all but because she's a little princess of course she complained, well I just lifted her off and tucked her in again and slept off in seconds.
Hopefully by this time next year after we finish decorating her room she'll be ready to move out from ours heehehehehehe and get her own private room. Till then we're still roomies. Three's company!
