Big Boy Bed

It's all he's been saying for 2+ days now.

I found it on Craig's List for a steal, along with a small sweater chest... so Troy schlepped up to Leavenworth this weekend and brought home a new bed for Alex.

We didn't plan to put it together right away, just sometime soon, so we might be able to use the crib for another baby, should we be so lucky.

But as soon as Troy unloaded it and Alex spotted it, he's been in love with his new big boy bed. It made me sad to see him standing up inside the frame of the bed which was turned in its side in our garage. He's still small enough to fit inside one of the drawers! But he is about the same as as Ella when we moved her to the princess bed...

So we bought a mattress, put it together, and Alex collapsed into his
new bed LATE Saturday night.

We picked up the quilt Sunday, not Mommy's first choice (I'm not into themes...) but Daddy and Alex picked it out and it is REALLY growing on me.

It's the perfect for for my little man!
