Ever since we went to the beach over Rosh Hashana, Chris has had in his mind that he wanted to get Riley bunk beds. He was in them at the beach and loved sleeping on the bottom bunk and playing on the top. Add to that the fact that he is a bean pole and was out growing his race car bed, so it was time to give in and move him up!
Over the past few days, Chris and Riley have been assembling the new bed and over the weekend, he got to sleep in the new bed/toy. I set some ground rules: no jumping on the beds, no throwing things from the bed, sleep on the bottom bed and have fun! Most of the rules are holding up (within the first 2 days), but the minute he got up to the top bunk, he brought all of his toys up and started launching them across the room... so we'll see!
We may have to figure out one more addition to the bed - a guard rail of some sort - as I was called into his room at 1am and he was sitting on the floor. Not sure exactly what happened, but either way, he was not staying in bed. Stay tuned on that. So now the room's theme is Star Wars/Sports/All Things Boy - but there is plenty of play space and now we have room for friends or family to sleep over!

Gotta tell you...when I got my first Bunk Bed, at about the same age as Riley. Uncle Eric and I argued over who got to sleep on the top bunk. Being the older (and the bed was in MY room), I won and, on the first night, despite Uncle Eric's vigorous protests, I got to sleep on the top bunk. Good thing...In the middle of the night, Uncle Eric fell out of the BOTTOM bunk!
