Recently, we decided that Cohen was big enough to "graduate" to a big boy bed. We found one at Ikea (my favorite store) and promptly fell in love with it. Apparently, a lot of other people fell in love with it also, because it took two trips to Ikea before they had the bed in stock. Here are some pictures of the fun time we had putting it together.


Here is all the stuff required to build this bed. That box was so heavy!

Instructions are for people who don't know what they're doing. That is why I always use them!

Cameron was a great helper despite the obvious lack of enthusiasm.

Almost done. Just need to attach the slats that will hold the mattress.

I'm a big kid now!

Finished product! Mom built most of the bed and dresser by herself. Cohen even has a little "hideout" underneath. He has already had a picnic with a brother and reading time with mom under there.

This is the coolest bed EVER!!! And it's all mine!
