We have a new piece of furniture. And hopefully with his new addition, my husband and I will have ransomed our own bed back from the toddler tyrant. We went to Toy R Us last night to look at toddler beds and Chad was mesmerized with the race car beds. I tried to point out the less-expensive, more aesthetic wooden toddler beds. Never taking his glazed and perhaps slightly teary eyes off the plastic siren, he responded dreamily that he'd always wanted one of these when he was a kid.
He allowed me to go home and research the bed. I found one locally on craigslist.com (75 bucks!!!). So, I got a good deal, fulfilled my husbands long-lost, childhood desire (please don't worry excessively about him as he's an only child, and believe me - was not deprived), and further cemented my place as the world's best mom.
My work is done!
Update:
Apparently, the car was not sporty enough.
adding his own stickers
whose bed is it again? I hope I didn't just lose my husband to his childhood dream...

Wow, that's pretty awesome! I love the finishing touches Chad added - it seems to remind me of a certain dirt bike...
S looks super excited about it too :)
Don't believe for a second that Chad wasn't measuring up that bed for himself. You just might find you're still sleeping with the toddler tyrant.
If Logan sees these pictures, he's going to be majorly jealous. (Or, I guess the next time we come to your house...)
