Toddler Bed

I mentioned last post that Evan climbed out of his crib. To be safe, we first tried putting his mattress on the floor with mixed results:



So, after many a night of him sleeping on the mattress and floor, we decided to get him a super cool toddler bed that would contain him.

Here are his reactions. Even before putting it together, he recognized it as a car, saying "car" immediately to these pieces. Then we had some fun with them.


"uh-oh" "sit I sit" "again"


"daddy mommy"


Here is his first reaction to the assembled bed in his room:



Evan's buddy Charlie likes it too!

And finally Evan in the box part IV!
