Big Boy Bed

A few weeks ago when my mom and I were at the DI my mom found this white headboard and footboard. It was only $5 and I thought that would be great for Weston's big boy bed but it was in real need of a face lift. Then a few weeks later I was at TJ Maxx looking for something to wear to Cason's blessing but found the cutest bedding instead. Everything was fitting together nicely to start the transition from a crib to the big boy bed. So I sanded and painted the bed and bought him a mattress. Last night was his first night. I was so reluctant to make this transition because Weston is a terrible sleeper. He won't nap in his crib you have to lay with him for him to nap and he only sleeps in the crib at night. I feared he wouldn't stay in the bed and it would just be a hugh hassle. But yesterday we got it all put together and Weston slept in his first big boy bed for the first time. He was so excited to sleep in it. He kept asking if it was time for bed and when he could sleep in his bed. So at nine we put him in a new pair of pj's and off he went. Weston laid right down and went to sleep. I didn't have to lock him in, threaten him nothing. He stayed in there until 8:30 then he came in and woke me up. I hope this wonderful trend continues. Pray for us. LOL!

The big boy bed all finished!

The headboard all finished with paint, and a little distressing.
