Caden's Big Boy Bed/Bedroom

Last weekend I was able to paint Caden's new room (Olympic's Highland Meadow). We've been talking about the "green room" (such a creative name...since that's the color of the carpet) becoming his new bedroom with a big boy bed for a while now. He seemed to be excited about the idea. Then we worked on decorating, and it was finally ready for occupancy yesterday. We tried him out for a nap first to see how that would go. He actually napped in the bed! So, we figured he could handle the night, and I'm happy to say everything went smoothly! We're so proud of him; I can't believe how quickly he's growing up. Now onto potty training...
Caden discovering where all his toys are.

Jason got the idea to use the top level of the Army foot locker (Caden's toy box) as an under the bed "drawer" to keep toys in. It works great!
I wanted him to lie with me, but he was more interested in jumping over my legs.

Actually napping.


All rested and ready to play the next day.
This was my bed when I was a kid. My dad built it. You may remember the awesome comforter from my mom for Caden's birthday. It's soooo colorful! I love it.

I love the room. The color is great; everything matches. Great idea to put the toys under the bed. The bamboo chair is an excellent addition to the room.

I like the room. We are following the same sequence - big girl bed and then potty training! The room looks great!

Looks great! Congratulations to Caden on his "graduation" to his Big Boy Bed!!!
