Matt putting it together... Caylee helping of course... **These are twin bunk beds that Cass and I had as kids, really nice beds, obviously we just needed one bed right now.
Frame together.... we flipped the outside boards bc we weren't planning to use the slats and I didn't want her rolling into the sharper edges.
Testing out the video camera to see where to best put the bed and camera so that there are no cords around should she get out. She liked using the remote and thought she was actually turning it on and off. Pretty funny :)
Big bed! Basically, instead of the mattress going on wood slats and being raised off the ground we opted not to use the slats and dropped the bed to the floor. We still put the bunk bed railings on, which gave it even a little more height protection/crib feel to it. Eventually, we'll raise the mattress to the slats and then get rid of the rails.... when she is tall enough to get in and out of bed on her own.
For now, we were glad we did it this way bc she hugs the rails at night and would have never stayed in her bed all night without them. She has slept great last night and for nap today... she still doesn't know how to get out, although I know she could because it's not that tall or that far to the ground. She isn't much of a climber though and still likes to be put in and picked up out. We did use the bumper pad bc there were a few gaps that were bigger than we thought.
Next step... adding a pillow and sheets.... hmmm... still unsure about this and how it will work. She just doesn't stay in one spot and moves all over the place.
