Two weekends ago when we finally got the chance to put up Big Boy's bed in the process of the "Operation Room Change", he was SOOO excited. Unfortunately for him, the excitement could only be for looking at the bed but not sleeping in it quite yet. If you look through the doorway, you can see part of the banisters leading downstairs. We hadn't gotten a stair gate yet so neither Papa or I were comfortable letting Big Boy sleep in his new room until we could get that taken care of. And if you wondering why we didn't already have a gate, it's because we do have a gate, just not one that works for the banister/wall connection. We have a wall tension gate that we put up each night in the hallway keeping the kids barricaded to only our room and theirs. The excitement of getting his room ready, however, was good enough for Big Boy!
Behind the desk area of the bed is a storage area that has doors that open at both ends. Papa is thinking about building a bookshelf at one end and adding a hanging bar for clothes at the opposite side. For now though, the kids love using it to run through and be a hideout.
Before the backing to the desk area was up and while Papa and Big Boy's godfather, Darren were finishing up tightening screws the kids found that the bed made for a great ice cream store. They both insisted that I order ALOT of ice cream. At least it was reasonably priced. They started out charging me $2.00 a scoop but like everything else in the world today, the price quickly increased to $3.00! Let's just say I got quite full and became very broke on imaginary ice cream!

Boopy just being cute.
Later that night, Papa was showing the kids the bottom trundle space. He convinced the kids to climb in so that he could shut them inside. Big Boy chickened out, but Boopy was determined that she wanted to be "closed inside" the bed. Alas, Papa didn't really close her inside as she chickened out too when he started to close the drawer.
