Big step this weekend!

Lucas gets a big boy bed!!

My parents graciously bought us a beautiful twin bed frame in the fall. And it in parts in our second bedroom. We just weren't in a position to buy the mattress and box spring.

When Marc realized it was a twin and not a toddler bed, he was pissed. He came up with a thousand reason why we shouldn't put it up: it would be too high for Lucas, it won't fit in the room, he doesn't need it, etc.

One day I pulled everything out of Lucas' room to prove to Marc that it would fit (with almost three feet to spare) and we ordered the mattress set last weekend. It gets delivered tomorrow. So last night was the last time Lucas will sleep in a crib! Tonight when I get home I am going to change everything out-put his new dresser in, change out his clothes from his changing table to the dresser, take apart the crib and set up the frame. Lucas and I will sleep in the second bedroom tonight.

He has been so excited. He keeps telling me that I need to get him a pillow and he needs a blanket. Lucky for him Santa gave him a Toy Story comforter for Christmas and we have an over abundance of pillows.

I just hope that Marc gets over his hangups about this. As the woman at the mattress store said, Lucas is going to have this bed until he goes to college. Unless his tall gene develops and he outgrows it!
