Bed Time

On weekends when Richard doesn't have to go to work, he and Daniel get to cuddle in bed and read books first thing in the morning. Daniel loves it and will often go get books himself if I'm too slow!

Daniel has been in a toddler bed for a while now, and really has outgrown in. We have LOVED this crib and toddler bed! Now we love it as a full size bed! Yep, we got a very nice, brand new, full size mattress and box spring on Monday. The crib converted once again and the bed actually has a headboard and footboard. The only one in the house to have them! 

Daniel loves his new bed. The only bad part for him is that it's too tall for him to climb onto by himself! I sit on the side and my feet don't reach the floor; it's that high off the ground. So once again, he has something to grow into. And I love it because it will keep him from jumping on the new bed for a while longer! And since he has yet to fall out of a bed (except off a floppy twin air mattress at a friend's house :) ), I'm not too worried about him falling out of this one. Yes, Granny and Oma, I put some blankets on the floor next to the bed JUST IN CASE. 

From crib turned toddler bed...

...to full size bed! It JUST fit into his room. 

Now cuddle time in the mornings will move to Daniel's room where it is warmer during the winter. Richard might get a little extra sleep on the weekends, too. And I'm hoping that Daniel will learn to use his sheet and blanket (and even a pillow!) on his own so we can get rid of the space heater in his room. Bedtime has never been so good!
