Every night, there are at least four people in my king size bed. One of the reasons I keep spraining my neck is that I wake up every night with children laying on my head, across my neck, and kicking my spleen. Although my king bed is 76 inches wide, these kids allot me about six inches on it.
Peter has slept in a toddler bed for the past year. Around 3 am every night he comes into my bed for a snuggle. While I like a nice snuggle as much as the next person, I also like sleeping at 3 am. I would just get up and let Princess, Peter and the Mister just have the bed, but I find sleeping in a toddler bed just as neck-stiffening as being squished in my own bed.
This week I bought Peter a big boy bed. Now when he comes into my bed at 3 am, I give him a snuggle till he falls back asleep, and then I go sleep in his bed. I got mad problem-solving skillz, yo.
Greg also managed to break his Ikea bed frame recently, so we were in the market for two bed frames. A bed frame from Pottery Barn Kids or Land of Nod runs around $500 t0 $700, and I need two beds, so I have been looking around for cheaper options. Craigslist to the rescue! I found a pair of matching Jenny Lind spindle beds.
The boys give their new beds two thumbs up.

i am amused that your solution is to buy yourself a twin bed...
ReplyDeleteLove love love the beds and their adorable room. Happy Sleeping!
ReplyDeleteWhat a handsome room! We have the same issue - nightly visits from little ones!
ReplyDeleteI love those beds, they are amazing. We have a Jenny Lind crib and I love it.
ReplyDeleteIt makes me wish we needed another twin bed so I could look for a Jenny Lind one :)
Love the Jenny Lind beds and the game of musical beds is super-popular in my house too!
ReplyDeleteCute! Your boys seem to love their new beds! I hear you on the "party in the family bed at 3am" deal. That's how we roll at my house. I kind of like it though. ;)
ReplyDeleteThe beds look great and the boys look so adorable in them. Great find!
ReplyDeleteHow much did u pay for the set...everything at Pottery Barf is over priced. We live in our house we don't take pictures of it for magazines
