big boy....

i guess it's pretty official.....he's a big boy now....well, the bed is a big boy bed but he is, and forever will be, my baby boy....last weekend fred & brenda came over for a visit and brought us grant's *new* big boy bed.....his third-richards'-generation bed.....pops slept in this bed as a child, brett slept in this bed & now it's grant's turn....how cool is that??? mimi & pops were also quite gracious to get us a new mattress set for the bed as well.....you see we have mattress issues in our household....and let's just say that is a post for another day....

he LOVES his new bed....you would too if you could feel that fitted sheet.....it is a chamois fitted sheet from pottery barn kids.....it.is.heaven.....oh my goodness!.... wonderful....the first night i had it on the bed he just rolled all over it ~umm, naked, right after his bath ~ and kept saying, "my bankie, my bankie!!"....it does feel just like one side of his favorite blankie....

i was able to match the stuff from his crib bedding & decor so we could keep the blue/green & bug them going....love me some pottery barn kids!!

oh.....and here is an AWESOME tip that i got from the lady at pottery barn.....i was looking at bedskirts and she asked if my bed had slats under it (i had told her the age of the bed)....i told her that yes, actually it did.....she then went on to tell me that if i did a bed skirt i would have to cover that beautiful wood rail on the side....ugh, don't wanna do that.....then, very non-chalantly, she said just use a fitted sheet on the box spring......it covers it & yet you still see the rail....GENIOUS....and how simple is that?!?!? why have i never thought of that before? i need to do the same thing to my bed in our room.....again, gotta love some pottery barn....
