Today I decided to take a days vacation as Joshua's new bed was due for delivery. So I figured it was a good opportunity to build the bed and re-arrange the boys rooms whilst also spending getting some more quality Daddy time. The bed arrived nice and early (breakfast time in fact) and the boys were very keen to help their Daddy assemble - plastic toys in hand.
Basically Joshua seems fairly tall for his age and some nights when he is all stretched out he just seems so big for his toddle bed. So we hunted high and low for a new full size divan bed for him with an aim of then moving the toddler bed into Brandon's room. So similar to what we did with Joshua, Brandon now has a bed and cot in his room in order to give him an option of where to sleep. Hopefully he will decide that the Lightning McQueen bed with Handy Many bed set is tempting and soon we will be able to remove the cot.
So the bed we decided on was rather apt for Joshua - none other than Jupiter the Fire Engine. Needless to say both boys absolutely love the bed and I couldn't built it quick enough for them to start playing.
"Neh Nah Neh Nah"
The games didn't stop once the mattress was in place with both boys running and jumping on the bed. Joshua has already figured out how to climb over the window screen, into the engine, then he does a massive jump off the bed into the middle of his bedroom!
As you can see it is much bigger than his old bed as Mummy, Brandon and Joshua can fit on this one fairly comfortably.
Joshua has been pretty excited about his new bed all day and we was starting to think that we might have trouble getting him to sleep tonight. I think we both expected to be being called upstairs all night for "neh Nah" emergencies as he raced off to put out fires. However I must have tired the little man out on his go-kart because as you can see from the picture below, he is currently out cold in his new bed - and doesn't he look nice and comfortable and spacious.
Brandon briefly asked to sleep in the toddler bed tonight, but then missed his cot with his diggers and dumpers blanket and resorted back to his old bed. But there is no rush............he will sleep in the bed when he is good and ready.
Once the bed was delivered and set-up I took the boys over the park and lake. Brandon on his bike and Joshua on his go-kart. After feeding the birds at the lake I decided to take them to see the "soldier house" for the first time. Unfortunately it was a bit wet and muddy inside, but we still got to have a little play outside and for me to explain what the bunker is for.
Other breaking news on Brandon is that he is learning to count very well now. The last couple of days we have heard him get to around 5 or 6 all on his own. Obviously the counting of stairs is slowly sinking in as it did with Joshua. After bath time tonight we also put Brandon in a dressing gown for the first time and how cute does the little fellow look in this?
