Big Boy Bed

Marcus finally has a new bed....and he loves it! I have been looking but just couldn't find something I liked and was willing to spend the money for yet. My mom and I found a gently used loft bed with a metal frame and only half as tall as most others. It's only 3 steps up and no steps needed to get down....he JUMPS!! There is plenty of room underneath for his superhero fort....and he has been under there all day playing.

This "perfect" bed was no small feat. Thanks to my mom and brother for helping out last night and today. After 2 trips to Walmart and 2 different Home Depots...we finally got storage and all the right hardware for the new bed. Marcus and I then spent another couple hours arranging his room and playing in the fort.

I'm not worried about him having to get up in the middle of the night nearly as if he were up at the ceiling. There are side rails and he has lots of pillows and stuff animals around the edges. We still have to get a twin mattress and new bedding.

He was very excited to sleep in his big boy bed tonight! Here is showing off with his moves and a couple pics he took himself and finally ready for bed!!
