It was just a couple days before the new year when I purchased new twin sized bedding for Brady since we had a disassembled bunk bed sitting in our garage for him. I brought it upstairs to his room to see if the new bedding would coordinate with his current decor. When Brady laid eyes on the new blanket he got very excited as I explained that it was for his new big boy bed. I laid it out on his chaise lounge couch to see what it looked like spread out. He assumed that the couch was his bed and immediately climbed under the covers. He was just so excited that he had a big boy bed now... I couldn't take it away from him - and I couldn't put the bunk bed together myself. So... I put sheets on his couch and set up his temporary big boy bed. He loved it! Never fell out or got out of it when he was supposed to be sleeping - or after he woke up for that matter. He always waited till Josh or I came to get him before he'd jump out of bed! It was wonderful!
Well, the day has finally come for Josh to assemble the bunk bed for Brady! It's a large bunk bed crammed into a small room. But Brady absolutely LOVES it! We spent hours before bed playing in there! At bedtime, he crawled under the covers and was ready to sleep in his new bed! Well, it's been about 2 hours and he's still awake IN his bed. Perhaps it's the sugar from the cupcake I gave him after dinner. Perhaps he's just too excited to sleep. Who knows! At least he's still in his bed, and he's not crying. He's just chatting away!
