Grayer now sleeps in a BIG BOY bed!!!
Speaking as a well rested parent who wants to stay well rested we were reluctant to switch him out of a crib because he was sleeping SO good and NEVER tried to climb out of it!
So we thought, why fix what's not broken?!
But knowing we did need to eventually make the switch I kept my eye out for new bedding. I found this set from Pottery Barn and absolutely fell in love with it (minus the football sheets and pillow).
I showed it to my Mom and she being the awesome Mom she is offered to make the bedding so it would be cheaper than buying it. So using the above picture as a guide she put together an even cuter bed set!! She did an AMAZING job and I love how it turned out, and it's extra special because now Grayer has a room that was made by his Grandma Christensen, Grandma Gilchrist, Aunt Molli, and Mommy.
(We all helped quilt the bedspread!)
So without further adieu I give you Grayer's New Room......
Isn't it so cute?
We found the headboard and footboard on the side of the rode put out for trash, so we picked it up and repainted it
Pillows made by Me and my Mom (she did the two with the stars and I did the two with the stripes)
I made a new valance out of left over fabric
We inherited this book shelf from a friend and repainted it
We found this metal "Lightning McQueen" sign at a summer festival here in Rochester and Grayer absolutely fell in love with it. So even though it is not my favorite thing in the world Grayer is super happy to have Lighting on his wall:)
I found these alphabet photos and thought they were neat
And here is Grayer absolutely loving his new bed!! We set up his room while he was taking a nap on the couch, and so when he woke up we told him that we had a present for him in his room. He was very surprised to find his crib gone, but he doesn't seem to mind too much, seeing that every time he walks into his room he runs over to his bed and says "present" and proceeds to climb up and jump on it! He has slept really well on it too, he doesn't get off and goes right to sleep! The only change that has come of this is, he wakes up earlier. I think he probably woke up at the same time when he was in his crib but because he couldn't get out he would fall right back to sleep, but now that he can get in and out of bed he takes full advantage of waking up early!
Thanks to all who helped make Grayer's New Room!!!
