Big Boy Bed!

Casey is currently working on building Peter a fire truck bed. He has had the plans for a while and just started working on it, in hopes of getting it done this summer. We had originally planned to just keep Peter is his crib until the bed was done.

Then we thought about the fact that in a few weeks we will be going to New Jersey and Peter will sleep on an air mattress since he's really getting too big for a pack and play. We decided that maybe his first experience of sleeping without bars should not be when we're on vacation and all 5 of us are sleeping in one room.

We decided that we'd just get his twin mattress and let him sleep on it on the floor so he can get used to the freedom of no crib rails. He was pretty excited when we got it all ready today and he had to try it out and pretend that he was going to bed with his doggy. Then Esther had to check it out as well. For some reason, they found this to be quite hilarious.

Currently he is sleeping soundly. We're hoping he stays in there all night and that we don't have a visitor in the middle of the night!

Grandma K. is also working on a quilt to go with the fire truck bed. It will be fun to see how it all turns out once the bed and quilt are finished. We'll keep you posted!
