The big boy bed

Today is the day where Grant's life will change forever.  No more crib.  Oh boy!

After a long search for a good mattress at the price we wanted, we found a great mattress at Costco last night, and my dad came over and helped me put the bed together today.  

I'd also been looking and looking for just the right bedding and nothing was to be found.  Well, actually, I found this bedding at Serena & Lily, but I just couldn't justify the price for a kids bedding set.  I really like all of their boys bedding.  Very cute.  I even thought about making a quilt with the big green and white stripes and the cute orange trim, but who am I kidding?  I still have other things to finish before baby boy #2 comes.  The clock is ticking!

So after looking some more and buying a couple things that we ended up taking back, we went to Burlington Coat Factory and found the quilt, sham, and square pillow.  We'd been to Home Goods over the weekend and found these cute shark sheets, but didn't get them.  They only had one set left.  We went last night and they still had them.  Hooray!  They are so cute!  I love 'em, and so does Grant.  I'm so relieved that it's all done and that we really like the finished product!

All set up before Grant came into his room.

Smiling with Grandpa.  Sort of caught Grandpa with a goofy smile.
Oh well, it just looks like more fun.

Nap time.

It's nap time right now.  I don't think Grant has fallen asleep yet, but he's really quiet and hasn't tried coming out of his room.  I went in there a little bit ago and he was bringing a couple more books into his bed.  Wish us luck!

Oh, the bed!  I almost forgot.  $50 on Craig's List.  That was something I was particular about finding too.  I wanted something unique.  It's an Ethan Allen bed from the 70's or 80's.  It was already painted that great blue and it looks like we can keep it that way.  :)
