Tyler's New Bed

We have finally gotten Tyler into his big boy bed, hooray! We bought this bed about 6 months ago at DI for $10, thinking, Hey, not so hard, a little sanding, some staining and it will be good as new. Well 6 months later... it is finally finished. (Not that we've been working on it for 6 months, but ya know) We put the finishing touches on it this afternoon, picked him up a mattress and sheets, and he is now sleeping like a big boy in his big bed.
Jordyn, helping us out.
Tyler, helping dad do some work.
Then when we got it moved and put together nice; Jordyn tucked Tyler in to give it a try.
He even pretended he was sleeping, he loved it!
Here is the finished product, all set up and ready to go.
And he is now sleeping in it without a peep.
So, now the crib is being put away for who knows how long, and it's so weird to me! SO weird. Where are my little kids? Are they both seriously old enough to be in real beds? Weird! (I know, how many times can I use the word weird? Alot!). Weird! Next up, potty training, and in all honesty, that isn't too far off for the big guy! Go Tyler!

Oh how exciting! I'm not sure when we'll move Spencer, but it's looming on the horizon for sure!

Holy cow!! Getting a big bed is always such a big step. Hard to believe. They grow up so fast!! But it is fun to see how much they are learning and growing and coming into their own personalities.

Congrats to Tyler!! And what a steal for $10! It looks great. If you find a magic way to keep your boy IN the bed, let me know. We're just loving having W get up every 15 minutes until 10PM. :)

I hope all is going well for you and your family! Tell Matt hi.
