Michael worked all day Saturday, filling screw holes with putty, sanding down uneven seams, priming, and finally painting the final coat on the trundle bed he built last weekend using plans from Knock Off Wood. He was amazing! Isla adores her new bed! One of her favorite things to do is throw herself on there exclaiming "Nigh, nigh!"
Isla's first Sunday snooze in her newly pimped out bed! She did great!
I've been feeling the need to transition Isla into a big girl bed over the last couple weeks. This has mostly been brought on by our impending trip out east this summer (starting mid June). I started wondering where she would sleep at the various locations and realized that she's just too small for a pack and play now, so she'll need to get used to the idea of a bit more freedom.
Since Ada is still a bit too young to sleep in a top bunk, that was out of the question. The idea of a trundle bed has been rolling around in my head for a while now and I found the perfect plans for a trundle bed over at Knock Off Wood- one of my new favorite blogs!
I mentioned the plans to Michael earlier in the week, but it wasn't until Saturday morning that we actually put our heads together and discussed a game plan. We got Greg (My Father-In-Law) involved in our brainstorming and decided it would be best to go for a smaller than twin size bed that Ikea sells - this bed will get her through her first 5 years of life easily. If we decide later we don't need the bed, the trundle will make an excellent storage solution for under the bed. :)
My hard working hubbs!
"The Loud" power drill that really isn't loud at all
It's coming together- our goal was to get this finished in time for bedtime for Isla
The girl of the hour
Concerned by "the loud" power drill
Oh dear!
Let's take a moment to bow our heads...
Moment's passed!
Yippee!
The bed did get completed in time for Isla's bedtime! She just got to bed at 9:45 pm. ;) Next weekend the plan is to work on sanding / puttying / and painting her little big girl bed - yay!
