JB and Gloria were so excited to sleep in their bunk beds last night. We got them new mattresses, mattress protectors, sheets, warm fuzzy blankets, and I am in the process of making JB a quilted duvet cover out of flannel outdoorsy print that I got for him 4 years ago in Minnesota. Switching them to old bunks that we stripped and painted and had to outfit cost a lot all together, but the project was fun to do with Max and new tools and techniques came out of it. The transition would have to happen eventually, so hopefully they will be using these bunks for a while. They can also be separated, but I have a feeling JB and Benaiah will be sharing them next. Making Gloria's room into Baby Benaiah's room is another story...
I was pleasantly surprised that Gloria slept in the bottom bunk all night and we didn't hear a peep out of her (or JB). Gloria up until last night has slept in her girly room in a crib with the sides as her security all the way up. I wasn't sure how she would do transitioning to a "big girl bed" so abruptly, but she seemed to sleep great. You can kind of see the pillows and comforter we put on the floor in case she fell out...although these bunk beds are very low to the ground.
Max did a great job with the step ladder up to JB's bunk and the guard rail up top. We finally gave into JB's plea to have the bunk beds hunter green...a good choice for their room. Now I have to figure out how to make the room at least a little girly for Gloria. Let me know if you have any suggestions. I was thinking maybe butterfly or flower"stickers" on the wall, the kind that you can peel off or stencils.

Neat bunk beds! And they don't look too high either!
