Big Boy Bed
Monday, August 24, 2009
Liam made the transition from his baby bed to a "big boy" bed this past weekend. He was so excited when they delivered the bed on Saturday morning! We temporarily moved the baby bed to other side of his room (just in case) but he kept insisting that we get it out of there because he’s a big boy now.
He did really well with his nap Saturday afternoon and then slept all that night (with only one roll-off mishap). Luckily his giant, fluffy bear Hugo "caught" him when he rolled off the bed at 5:30 on Sunday morning. Rob bought a couple of swimming pool foam noodles that we put under the fitted sheet on each side of the bed to create bumpers for the sides and that seems to have solved the rolling off problem.
After naptime yesterday, we decided to take the old crib apart and Liam even helped remove screws with the cordless drill and bag up the little pieces.
The headboard is still in transit and we haven’t installed the bedskirt yet so I’ll update this post with another picture when all of that’s in place.
Update: The ready-to-assemble headboard finally arrived so here’s the completed bed with headboard, noodles and bedskirt all in place:
We’ve also finally updated the Liam’s bedroom page with some photos and details of his room. Be sure to take a peek!

That bed looks so comfy. If he's not using it, say, tomorrow afternoon, I might swing by for a nap . . .
And the swimming noodle bumpers? Very inventive idea . . .
Awww, I love the comforter set!
Love it....Liam is such a big boy now!
Nice thoughts !!

What a cute bedset! I looked at Daniel this morning and realized how long he was getting and am thinking about switching him from the converted crib to a twin bed - I LOVE the idea of using the noodles as bumpers and I'm totally going to borrow that one!! I think that's way more creative than the big safety rail!!
I bet Liam is just so proud of himself!!
Hey Rob! That was an ingenious way of fixing the rolling-off-the-bed problem! I love the monkey theme too!
I LOVE THIS ROOM! :) It's so cute and young, but still boy-ish. Great job!!
Maybe you can switch the bed for an adjustable bed that has "all in one". You were very smart to install the foam bumpers, but some beds already have such a system designed.
