New bunk beds

This past weekend Lisa, my best friend, called and told me there was a huge sale on kids beds at a local store. So of course we had to go see. Ethan's bunk bed, although just fine for him, had a few dangerous things about it. Since we didn't use the bottom mattress we had an exposed metal bar just waiting for someone to land on, and the ladders could not come off. That wasn't an issue until now when I want Avery to feel comfortable playing upstairs with her brother....just not on the beds. So we now have fixed the problem and are so pleases to not have to worry anymore.

Bye old bed, we loved you. We sold this to a family who is getting ready to be foster parents. That makes me feel so good...

No more sad feelings.

It took lots of help putting this together. I am pretty sure Gary could NOT have done it without his crew.

At last....ready for bed.

Avery trying out the new ladder...that will be removed so she can play upstairs without me.

I do have to say that it broke my heart that as soon as we put the sheets on the bottom bed she grabbed her blankie and sucker and jumped right on up as if that bed was put there for her. The last two nights when we have had to put her in her bed she just cries to sleep by Ethan. (If she had practice sleeping in a big bed we would just leave her...but I am not ready to have her out of her crib. Plus the drop is about three feet off the ground.) Poor baby.
