I've been looking around on craigslist for beds, and I found this Pottery Barn Kids bed for about 1/4 of what they sell for. The seller even gave us 2 sets of Pottery Barn Kids sheets and a PBK quilt and pillow plus the mattress and box spring. The quilt is a sports theme - not my first choice - if I had bought something, it would have been with trucks or trains on it because that's what Trey loves, but it's really cute. Plus it was included, so we saved a lot of money. This bed is from the Thomas collection at PBK - they still make it and we can eventually buy another twin bed to make bunk beds.
Trey was pretty sad to see his crib be taken apart and put in another room for Jonathan. He cried quite a bit, but we told him how exciting it was that he was getting to sleep in a big boy bed. We showed him Jonathan in the crib, and Trey seemed genuinely excited to see his "baby" sleeping in there.
This is Trey sleeping during his nap the first day having his new bed. It was a pretty smooth transition. He does try to climb out of bed, and he knows that he is not supposed to do that. We have been very consistent about making sure he stays in his bed - he gets disciplined when he gets out of bed after we have tucked him in bed. But each naptime or bedtime is getting easier. He really likes his bed.

Oh, Joy. He has grown so fast. I really hate how quickly it does go. That bed and bedding is amazing! What a find, and what a blessing!! We have been talking about moving Scotty into a big bed at the end of this summer, and it just makes my heart hurt!
