A New Bed for Nat

Nathaniel has recently started trying to clamber over the side of his cot so I decided it was time to order him a new bed.

He could probably have gone into a proper single bed but he is still only 2 and a half and I couldn't resist the picture of a lovely Toddler bed that I saw in Mothercare, and it was on sale!

It arrived today!!

While Nat was having his nap, Seb helped me put the bed together . . it was quite easy but definitely a two person job . . particulary if one of you has trouble operating a screwdriver.
 
 

Was really pleased with the finished result  . .  but realised that the cot mattress that I had hoped would fit the bed, was too small.

Quick check on the Babys'r'us website and a phonecall to confirm they had a mattress in stock.

Bundled the boys into the car and off we went to buy said matress plus new sheets as the old ones won't fit.  For some reason they only came in packs of 4 but heigh ho at least I won't have to worry on those nights when vomitting or bed wetting come into play.



Seb distracted Nat while I made up his bed complete with little duvet and pillow.  Made the room look nice and then Seb led Nat into the room.


He loved the bed and was very excited.  I was videoing so no photos of his initial reaction.



Nat looks a little glum in this one because he hurt his knee on the side rail while climbing onto his bed.


I think he likes his 'big boy' bed.  Lets just hope I can keep him in it!!

Have had to clear away some things I don't want him to play with / damage.

Tonight could be very interesting  . .  will let you know how we get on!
