The new bunk bed

Last weekend we realized that we were running out of space in Jake and Andrew’s room. Especially since we plan on eventually putting Isaac in the room with them. So, we finally bit the bullet and bought a bunk bed. As you can see in the photos, Jake and Andrew helped me put the bed together. We had a lot of fun. However, Jake and Andrew eventually got bored with it so I was left to finish putting the bed together by myself.

Of course the best part came when the bed was all together and we put a mattress up on the top bunk. Jake immediately headed for the top. The funny thing is that the whole time we were setting up the bed we went over the rules of the bunk bed. Number one, no standing or walking on the top bunk. Number two, no leaning over the rail on the top bunk. Well, as soon as Jake go on the top bunk he stood up and leaned over the rail. Over the past week Jake has learned that he does not need to stand on the top bunk

The first time Andrew tried to get on the top bunk he fell of the ladder. He quickly decided that he was not interested in falling again so he never tried again until Friday night. He decided it was time to try again and he succeeded. He also got down by himself without a problem.

So at this point the boys still love the bunk beds. Isaac wishes he could play on them with the big boys but I’m afraid if Isaac did make it on to the top bunk, Jake and Andrew would try to throw him overboard.
