The many beds of Kylie

When I got pregnant with Kaleb, I got all excited to get his room ready so I decided to have Kylie sleep in her big girl bed when she was 18 months old. BAD IDEA!!! Basically she wouldn't stay in her bed and ended up in our bed every night. It's now gotten to the point that when she's ready for bed she goes straight into our bed. She's now 4 1/2 and something needs to be done.

Today we finally got her a real bed, and it's name is actually the "Kylie Bed". Once I saw it I just had to have it. Anyways when we got home today from running errands she knew that the bed was in the garage in the box. She got so excited for it she hugged the box. She couldn't wait to put it together. When I showed her a picture of it from my cell phone, she got this big gasping squeal and said that it was "beautiful".

I always wanted a headboard for her bed, but since her bed used to be just the metal frame it was just blah.... I had this mirror to my bedroom's dresser that was broken and I decided to turn the frame to it into a headboard.. I think it turned out way cute~~~ But the room was still very Blah!!!


Then I tried the bed/headboard in a different spot... and we also did some decorating.
I just love~love~love the polka dots.


And I tried it in a different spot again...

Then several months back Stuart began working from home and needed a memo/message board above his desk. I had yet another great idea for the old frame. I turned it into a magnet board for him.... You'll all be happy to know that he never goes into his office, instead he sits on the couch in the living room with his laptop. But there is stuff on the magnet board at least now.
So in its place I made this sign for her wall that took the place of the headboard... (I couldn't find any pictures of it with the bed)




This is Kylie in her bed watching some TV until she falls asleep IN HER OWN BED!!!

Very cute! Love the new bed! There is this web site called storynory.com where you can download fairytales and then burn them to a cd. After our bedtime routine we just put in a storynory cd and Kaitlyn will listen to the stories until she falls asleep. It's such a great site.
