Bunk Bed

Today we finally got a bunk bed for Sebastian. We have been looking for a new bed for him ever since we moved, but had not yet been able to find anything. As you can see from the picture, he was a bit crowded in his toddler bed. Due to the number of stuffed animals, or “friends” as we call them, that he likes to sleep with, there was barely room for him.
We didn’t want to spend tons of money on a bunk bed (no one ever desires to do that), but yet we didn’t want to get anything that was too cheaply made. We had, therefore, been looking at craigslist quite a lot. Yet every time that we found something, it was already sold by the time we got a hold of the owners.
Then, the other day my dad found an add in the paper for a sale on a pine, real wood, bunk bed, with two free mattresses thrown in. Today, we went to the store and discovered that the “great deal” was actually a misprint. The salesman, Jude, who was a very nice gentleman, even showed us the fine print where it basically said, “There may be price mistakes in our advertisements, but we don’t have to honor them.” We were rather disappointed, and about to leave the store, when Jude came back and said he would give us the deal price—this was very exciting as that meant we would be purchasing a bunk bed and two mattresses for less than we paid for our, very cheap, Target crib and mattress.
I took down the crib that Sebastian has slept in since he was sixth months old while Patrick assembled the bunk bed. One more furniture purchase down.

Sebastian is very excited to sleep in his new bed tonight, and notice that most of the friends have moved to the top bunk.
