Big Boy Bed

As you know we are preparing Easton for a little brother, and the first thing we had to do was get a place for him to sleep when the baby takes his crib. Riley decided that he could build a better toddler bed than any in the stores, so he went to work. He built a solid wood bed equipped with a bookshelf headboard and space for storage underneath. I am pretty impressed with his handiwork and Easton is very excited for his new bed!

testing the frame...
All put together and holds the weight of 1 adult, 1 toddler, and 1 fluffy dog!
the staining is done... time to set it up
Easton was very excited to point to and tell us about his new bed.
Believe it or not, Easton actually fell right to sleep the first time I put him down for a nap in it. Certainly the transition from crib to bed couldn't be this easy...could it?

Wow, that bed looks great; I'm impressed. Good job Riley! We've been thinking about the 'big bed' thing but are too nervous to try it just yet. Keep us posted on how it goes!

It turn out so nice! Great Work! Warning: all kids don't fall asleep that easy! Did he get himself up when he was done??
