Woody and Lalon agree it's a great bed for Naylor!

Helping make the bed - hope they are always this excited to do this chore!

Naylor and Lalon got some bed time upgrades on Thursday.  Naylor has graduated from the toddler bed to a full size big boy bed and Lalon moved from her crib to the toddler bed.  Naylor was super excited, I had been telling him this was happening and he could help get his bed ready.  I had not planned on moving Lalon and so hadn't talked to her about it to prepare her.  After Brian got Naylor's bed together he went and changed Lalon's over... she was a little apprehensive at first, telling Brian, "No Daddy, don't break it!", but she seemed to do okay once it was done.  Although Lalon's bed is made to transition into a toddler and then a full size, we don't have the pieces to do it, so Brian put the toddler side from Naylor's bed on Lalon's - note: Naylor's bed is black, Lalon's is white, we are aware that these colors don't match.

The kids had so much fun 'helping' Daddy work on their beds and helping Mommy make them up and so were excited to try them out for the first time.  I had intended to get some side rails for Naylor's bed to keep him from falling out, but forgot so we're going to give it a go without the rails - so far, so good!  The main reason we moved Naylor over was that he has slats in his bed sides and at least once a week, usually more, he'd somehow get his legs stuck and not able to get them out, sometimes even challenging me to get him unstuck - so big bed it is!
