The Bunk Beds

Dan's grandfather made a set of bunk beds for his boys. Dan's dad and his brother used them. Dan and his brother used them. All four of our kids used them at some time. Now Sunny has them.

We took them over to Katie's house on Saturday and Dan assembled them. He pointed out all of the historical features of the beds. The carvings made by prior users. The stickers attached by her mom and the other kids. He told her the history of who has slept in those beds.

Most of that went right over her head.

What she was thrilled with was the fact that her mattress is up off the floor and that she can be trusted not to fall out of a real bed! She tried to climb up on the top, but she can't do it yet. We loaded the top with her stuffed animals, hung her butterfly quilt over the end and the bed was ready for its new occupant.

I know that Dan is thrilled to see a fourth generation use the bunk beds.

I'm just glad they're out of my garage...

Stickers placed by my kids still decorate the bed

It's only 11 am, but she's willing to take a nap on her new bed!
