Big boy bed

The big boy's new single bed and mattress was delivered yesterday, so i thought it would be a good idea to build it myself while hubby was at work.........what was i thinking!??  I built it, and it didn't actually take that long, but i had to build it with the baby jumping up and down on my lap having a tantrum because he wasn't allowed to play with the screws (yes i know, mean mummy), and the toddler running off with the poles.  But hey ho, it's built and i'm proud of myself.

So he spent his first night in his big boy bed last night, slept like a log and didn't even come close to falling out.  I checked on him several times of course!  I didn't think he would as he hasn't really ever fallen out of his cotbed but we haven't put side rails on his bed as he is very confident and it is only a bit higher than his cotbed, just a lot wider and longer.  Now its time to build up the cotbed back to a cot so that the baby can upgrade (second hand upgrade?) to a bigger cot.  There is no way i can let the monkey go into a bed just yet, he is far too lively, he still needs to be on lockdown!
