"This bed is totally wicked!" -Dominic
"Can I sleep down there Dad?" -Dominic
As you can see I bought Dominic his first big boy bed... and boy is it BIG! I was looking for a captains bed to combine a dresser and twin bed in one. I was depressed to find most captains beds over 800.00 and any worth buying were more like over 1000. A thousand for a child's bed, ridiculous.
I've been on Craigs list every day for a few months now looking for 1. a new living room group 2. a hutch or buffet for the kitchen/dining room stuff 3. a bed for Dominic. I hadn't seen any captains style beds or that many twin size beds for that matter until yesterday when I saw this bed posted for $450. A bit more than I was looking for, with a desk area, a trundle, and a storage compartment for large storage boxes behind the desk/dresser. But, seeing that the price was reasonable for what I was looking for and for what it was I gave the gal a call and went to go see it. It was in remarkably good condition. It's only 4 years old and was owned by a very tidy only child little girl. (Her mom is replacing the bed with a queen size one) Every piece is solid wood and there is hardly a ding in it anywhere. I told her pretty quickly... I am interested in your bed when can I pick it up.
Nic just loves it. I heard "this bed is cool", "it's so totally wicked" and "wow!" The girls call it the fun bed. I took Nic to get Spiderman bedding. He has the only twin beds in the house so I needed to buy all new stuff anyway.
We tucked him in up top tonight, and as we were leaving he asked if he could sleep on the bottom instead. It's a bit to scary to sleep up top just yet. Oh the awesome power of the BIG bed :D

WOW! Cool bed. What do the girls think about his new bed? Should make bedtime easier. And be careful when you're sending him to his room when he's naughty, he may want to go.
