Finally...A Big Boy Bed

So, I think it has bothered me more than it has him, but I feel a lot of guilt that he is only now getting out of the toddler bed....at age 4 years and 7 months.

I have a lot of reasons to justify the bad parenting. Want to hear them?

*He is small, always has been below average in height

*His room is small, perfect for a small bed

*He gets in our bed 2-5 times a night anyway

*Beds are expensive!

*Mattresses are REALLY expensive

*He's still the "baby"---okay that one is a stretch.

But, it doesn't matter now. He has joined the ranks of "super big boy."

We were so blessed to have been given the bed that Gracie has now from friends, and I am so thankful that I found a twin sized bed at a yard sale a few weekends back for $10, that really, really made things easier. All that was left was the cost of a mattress and box spring, and while I nearly fainted when I saw the average price tag--Thomas has what he needs. 

Oh, and bonus, guess what is on his sheets?

Tow Trucks!!!
