Big Boy Bed

Another great Craigslist find!

Carson and I went yesterday and picked up his new big boy bed. A twin size Race Car Bed!

So, this morning Carson and I had the tackle of taking down his crib and then putting up his new bed. The crib was more than a headache than what I thought it was going to be. The screws that held in the "spring" part that held the mattress up were stripped! I was so aggravated, I ended up having to put Carson's Cars movie on, just to get him out of my way, because I started taking my aggression out on him. Poor baby, yes, I deeply apologized for yelling after I got the crib apart finally.

Then, time to put his new bed together....It was a breeze, except when I learned that Carson "hammered" (yes, he had his own toy hammer) two of the screws inside the bed and you can not get them out. So we'll be heading to Pop's barn to find some new screws to hold the bottom of the bed together.

Other than that, he LOVES the bed. We put his crib mattress inside of the bed, so he could have a mattress until we go and get an extra one this weekend from Blake's parents house in Baton Rouge. His crib mattress looks so TINY inside of his new bed.

I had to put his step stool outside of the bed, so he can climb in...and for some reason, he likes to stick his tongue out whenever I take his pic.


Hopefully, no not hopefully....this WILL get him back into his bed and out of ours!!!!

Testing out his bed with his crib mattress...we had to stuff blankets around both sides.
