Here's Daddy interviewing Maiya after setting up her new bed.
And, a photo of her 10 minutes after falling asleep the first night. Note the 3 monkeys in bed with her.
After a week, we're using the new bed about half the time. Since we're still night nursing most nights and we're still a co-sleeping family, just in different configurations throughout the night.
I'd be interested in knowing other people's ideas about the family bed, when they transitioned toddlers to their own bed, and things like that. We're doing this by instinct, and it seems to be working for us.

My girl will be 3 in April. She starts out the night in her own toddler bed, but most nights ends up in our bed par-way through the night. It works for us. I don't worry about the future and when she will stop sharing our bed. I only worry about today. And I secretly miss her on the rare nights she doesn't come to join us.
We started out co-sleeping, nursing on demand.
My son is going to be 7 next month. He still sleeps in my bed. But I tell myself that Michelle Wie, the professional golfer, still sleeps with her parents, and she's going to Stanford.
I had to kick my daughter out of my bed when she was 8, but she took it pretty well. She's going to be 11 in a few days and she asked if she could sleep in my bed last night.
So...don't do anything I did.
