big boys, big toys...

The day has arrived. Ethan finally got his big boy bed. We had taken him shopping and had looked all over for a twin bed that would work in his room. I wanted to make sure that the colors and such were just right. After scouring the interwebs and going to a couple of furniture stores we finally found one at Dania right down the street from our house.

I have to tell you, bed shopping was a little hard for Ethan. He was really excited to finally get one but the concept of not taking it home when we bought it was a little hard to take. Ethan did not understand that when you order a bed you have to wait for it to be delivered so it was a long three days for him. But when it finally arrived we had his room set up when he came home from school and he was so excited. The next day when Jeff took him to school he was happy to tell everyone he slept in a big boy bed. Very cute!!

Grown Up Purchase...

After three years Ethan's dresser/changing table in his room finally fell apart. Well, this was a work in progress for about a year since it was a pretty cheap piece of furniture to begin with and we had duct taped the bottom of the drawers several times. Plus, since he no longer wears diapers we don't need the changing table anymore. By the way, we have several pull-ups and overnight diapers if anybody needs some. ;)

We finally made the big "grown up" step in buying a high quality dresser for Ethan. One with actual solid wood drawers instead of particle board. We ended up getting it at Dania after several furniture store stops and they had the perfect one that fit his bedroom exactly. Ethan's new designed room is finally complete so I thought I would show his final bedroom pics below and his new grown up dresser.
