Campbell’s Blog

As another sign of growing up, Campbell has gradually been making a progression out of his crib to his more “permanent” of a resting place. And since I missed the in between post that I originally intended to make when he made the big step to a bed, this post will be all encompassing.

A short time ago we decided that we would get Campbell’s bedroom upgraded and coordinated. It wasn’t that we didn’t like his original furniture, but soon it was time for him to move up in the world and get out of his crib.

The old standby.

That set in motion a series of events. First he made the move from the crib to the bed we had in Mara’s room. Mara got moved into a bed we had in storage. I think we did this at about two and a half for Campbell, a few months ago. He was so excited to be in a bed. We were lucky as he took to it pretty well at first. It was nice for a time when he didn’t get out of bed, until that moment when he realizes, “hey, I can get out of my room and go talk to Mom and Dad.” He gets out of the bed a little more than Mara (unfortunately we are still dealing with that).

Me and my buddies, sitting in a bed…

That brings us to a couple of weeks ago when we made a trip to Ikea to purchase some new bedroom furniture for Campbell. Ikea is kind of ideal for kids furniture since it is inexpensive and you don’t really need much. Mom settled on a set of white furniture and it goes well with his brown walls. Campbell likes it enough. Let’s see if he can stay in it as it is a little farther to fall out of. I think he has done that once or twice so far, but luckily no serious injuries!

As you can see, it works.
