Sean’s New Bunk Bed

Sean had been growing out of his crib-turned-toddler-bed for a while but John and I couldn’t decide what to do next with his room.  After a lot of deliberation, we decided to get him a bunk bed.  Our hope was that one day soon, he and Dylan could have a “sleepover” in Sean’s room when family comes in town and we need an extra room or, more importantly, just for fun.  Deciding on a bunk bed was only half the battle though, because these days there are about a million different types of layouts and material for these things.  Who knew?!
We ended up getting one that has stairs up the side, drawers all the way around (even each stair is a drawer!) and a full bed that you can wheel around for an easier time making the bed.  I have to admit, I’ve been on the top bunk a few times and it’s a ton of fun.  Dylan has been trying to persuade us to let him sleep in there one night, too.  Maybe soon :)

Playing the next day…

Over the summer we’ve been making it more cozy by getting fun green sheets for the top bunk and a reading light for the little shelf area so we can read our bedtime books in the “cave.”  All in all I think it was a success!  My biggest fear is hearing those words from Dylan in a year… “Why can’t I have a bunk bed?  Sean has a bunk bed!”
