Ethan has been sleeping in the big boy bed at work for over a month. He figured out he could climb out of the pack n play there not too long ago. I decided that if I found a bed, we would take down the crib at home. Thanks to Ayden, we had an extra mattress Ethan had occasionally been sleeping on on the floor for the past month or so but we decided it was time to make the switch!
I had looked at Once Upon a Child and a few other places because I really didn’t want to spend more than $50.00. I was actually getting rather frustrated because I wanted a simple bed and could find NOTHING in my price range. Then yesterday, I got lost! Like, hardcore, never heard of the town I was seeing on the signs, kind of lost. I had taken a backroad between Ayden’s school and the park we were meeting some friends at. Apparently, the sign to turn on the highway was knocked down and I ended up in Moncks Corner. *All the signs said Whitesville which I had NEVER heard of.
Well, it must have been a sign for me to get lost because I went to turn around at this shop and saw A BLUE RACECAR BED! I originally wanted a wood one but I immediately fell in love with it. It was a little scratched so I was hoping I could use that to barter down the price. I jumped out and asked how much it was. The overly friendly old man said fifty bucks! I was so excited. I looked it over a little more and let Zach and Ethan jump on it a little while I tried to figure out how to fit it into my car. I decided I would just come back with Conor later without Ethan. Thankfully, 6 hours later the bed was still there. Even though the people really didn’t want to come down in price, I still got the bed for $50! The cheapest I have seen one on craigslist is $100! We set it up and Ethan was in heaven. He slept pretty well on it last night and is currently napping in it right now!
Monck’s Corner is where I did my first sky diving.
Cool bed.
