After much planning, moving of furniture, selling of furniture, painting, assembling, and moving furniture again, Nathan was finally ready to sleep in a brand new twin bed last night for the first time. We decided to purchase some bunk beds as they were a much better value and would give us a bed for baby boy #2 as well when we need it. Other benefits of buying bunk beds include we can bunk them up if we ever see the need, we have a small guest bed again (the other twin is in our playroom), and the top bunk came with built in rails that will keep Nathan from falling off the bed.
The beds were super simple to assemble if I had followed the directions. Of course I did not read them and so I had to assemble them three separate times in order to have them set up properly. Once assembled Nathan got right to work jumping on his new bed.

As you can see Nathan quickly learned how to jump on the bed and throw himself down. We had to make sure to let him know that he is not allowed to stand upright on the bed, but compromised and let him jump from his knees. We will be sure to read one of his favorite stories, Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed before he goes to sleep for the next few nights so he understands the potential pitfalls to this activity.
Luckily, when we put him down to bet he when right to sleep, and this morning when he woke up he stayed in bed until I entered his room, where he promptly got down to pick out a book to read.
Nathan's room is not quite put together so as soon as that gets done along with the nursery we will post pics on how they turned out.
