Brady's Big Boy Bed

A few weeks ago, Brady's big boy bed finally arrived that we had ordered in January! We had it delivered on Friday afternoon and would assemble it that evening. Well, things didn't go as planned as some of the pieces were damaged. Finally, we just grabbed the mattress and set the boys up to go to bed. They had a slumber party in Brady's room on a new mattress, but no big boy bed. They did this for a few nights.

While waiting for the replacement pieces, we decided to change the plans. We had concerns that the new bed was going to be too high for Brady and it wasn't going to fit nicely in a corner where he would be limited to one side of falling off. So, instead we convinced Connor that the new bed was a "Big Boy Bed" for him and that it was time to pass the Loft bed to Brady (poor Brady - another hand-me down). Surprising to Chris (not to me since I know how to sell this stuff), the boys were in complete agreement that this was the plan. The final setup has worked out nicely and the boys adjusted perfectly.

However, Brady has definitely picked up on the freedom he has to get out of bed as we have found him in the hallway a few times. That's fine Brady...if it was to actually get up and use the potty (which is another story).
