big boy bed (and more)

Over the summer we started talking about looking for a "big boy bed" for Andrew.  He'd been sleeping in the toddler bed that Evyn used up until about age 4.  She was always happy and cozy in it,  but somehow, Andrew seemed way too big for it.  Partly because he was falling out of bed on a regular basis.  So maybe he just needed more room to roll.

Scott's grandmother recently moved out of her apartment and into an assisted living facility, and we were able to keep Grandma & Grandpa's old bedroom furniture.  Evyn moved up to a full size bed, and got a 'new' dresser and nightstand to match.  Which left Evyn's old bed- a twin- for Andrew to move into.  Plus he got a dresser from Grandma's set.

Andrew's bed now has a skirt (hurray, Pottery Barn outlet clearance racks!) which isn't shown in the picture, but you get the idea.  I haven't decided what to get to put in the spot where his changing table currently is (and I'd love to get rid of it!  Here's hoping Andrew will decide to start doing #2 in the potty SOON!).  A table?  A small chair?

I'm trying to convince Evyn to let me get her a new quilt, but she loves her old one, so it stays for now, even though it's undersized.

Both kids took about two weeks to adjust, but love their beds now.  Andrew often shows me how much he's grown- "look at me, I'm bigger and bigger!" - and enjoys showing off his "big boy bed" any time someone comes for a visit.
