Big Boy Beds

We thought it was about time to get Brandon a bigger bed when his feet started hanging off the edge of his racecar bed. Which was about a year ago. With Bryan's hectic work schedule and my grad degree workload, we never got around to getting that new bed. This entire time Brandon has stayed in that bed, with Tyler in his firetruck bed and Nick in the crib. Yes, Nick is just about 3-years old and is still in his crib. And we have enjoyed keeping the little monster in that cage, knowing that he will be free and loose to lurk around the house at night soon enough with his big-boy bed, when he should be asleep.

This is a somewhat sad time for us--we now have to get rid of the crib. The crib we bought in San Diego before Brandon was born.

All three of our boys came home from the hospital to this crib. While we are very happy to be moving on with our growing boys--it is very hard to let go of the memories associated with it.

Brandon & Tyler will switch out of the beds they've had for the last 3 years--the racecar bed and firetruck bed we bought to haul to San Diego for my temporary work assignment when I was pregnant with Nick.



Nick is very excited to be taking ownership of that firetruck bed, and Brandon is very happy to get a loft bed. He's not quite as happy about having a room to himself (he's going through the scared-of-the-dark phase.) Here was Nick's bedroom yesterday before Brandon's new bed arrived (ignore the mess):


Here they are now:
