Andrew Graduates to a Big Boy Bed

Poor Andrew has slept on a mattress on the floor for probably 2-1/2 years. Our reasons for taking down the crib were two-fold: It was hard to get him in and out of that crib with his bar-and-brace shoes, and he was a horrible sleeper. I thought that if I could lay next to him on the floor, maybe just maybe, he would sleep harder and longer. Wrong! But it was a good theory. We also moved him into the same room as his brothers in hopes that that would help as well, but that didn't work either. It just took time to cure that problem. Since around age two (approximately), Andrew has been a great sleeper.

Around Thanksgiving, we were made aware that Chris' cousin in Minnesota was getting rid of her daughters' car bed. I called her up and we made arrangements. Pa and Grandma graciously hauled the bed down to Illinois at Christmas when they came down to celebrate together. After a little assembly...voilà...Andrew had a big boy bed!

I've seen the Corvette beds, but I had no idea they even made VW Bug beds. This is too adorable! You should hang on to it. I'll bet it'll bring big eBay $$$ someday!
