Addison has been ready to move out of her crib for quite some time, but somehow, we never got around to it. Kevin thought maybe we should get her a toddler bed to transition but I argued that we might as well spend the money on something she could use longer, so we started looking. Kevin is an avid Craigslist fan, so we "shop" that site frequently. We found several beds that we likes, but they were more than we wanted to pay or too far away. Addison kept asking for a "big girl" bed so Kevin finally told her she would get one when she successfully completed potty training. Once that happened, the impending purchase became more urgent!
We scored BIG on Craigslist today! First, we found a four-poster canopy bed that we couldn't quite tell the condition of from the pictures. So after work Kevin headed over to have a look at it and ended up bringing it home. Not only was it in great condition, but it matched the furniture she already had almost perfectly! While Kevin was looking at the bed, I started looking on Craigslist for bedding and found a set that had just been posted in University Place. I called the lady, who was quite surprised at the quick response, and we agreed to meet around 6pm. So, as soon as Kevin was home with the bed, we unloaded it and headed off to check out the bedding. I loved it immediately! It is just so colorful and perfect for our baby girl... who finally has her "big girl" bed!
