Last week Samantha gave Jeff and I a 30 minutes dissertation of why she needs a big bed like Mommy and Daddy. Since we already had the conversion kit to make her crib into a full size bed, and my mom (Gram) had a full size mattress / box springs to give us, we decided to go ahead and make the upgrade. All we had to go buy was bedding and pillows!
I'd love to say that this upgrade was as easy at it sounds but it actually was a total disaster. We bought the conversion kit 3+ years ago when we bought Samantha's bed room set and we never even opened the box until last night. So after spending 2 hours shopping for all the new bedding we got home and realized we were missing parts. So Jeff went to Menard's and Lowe's to find the missing parts. But those parts did not fit correctly so this morning we went to Home Depot, with the bed rails, to make sure we got the right parts. After getting the bed all put together we went to put the box springs on and the bed was less than an inch too big for the box springs so the box springs just fell to the floor. So Jeff went back to Menard's to get rails to hold up the box springs. When he got home we realized the rails were cut 1 inch too small and they did not work. So he had to go back to Menard's and get new rails cut. Luckily the new rails work and we were able to get the bed put together! But now Samantha just wants to play on her new bed and not take a nap. At least the project is done and Samantha is happy.
My little girl is starting to act like a big girl. But no worries, she already promised me she would live with me FOREVER! You hear that Samantha? You promised me you'll never move out :)
