Hannah Got Her Big Girl Bed Today

Hannah has been growing. Lately, when she has thrown a fit in her crib, I would watch the whole thing shake. I realised it was time to get a new bed. So over the past few weeks, I have been checking out twin beds. I looked into the medical beds. Way too expensive. I realised that with her medical needs changing, a high tech bed was not necessary. What we needed was a bed with a higher edge on all sides so she couldn't fall out. Her Grandfather, Uncle, and I were looking at high edged day beds because they would have at least 3 sturdy sides. I would just have to buy a bed rail.

Well the other day on a whim I stopped at a local furniture store in Cornelius. It is called Murphy's Furniture. (By the way, the staff was very helpful and low pressure.) They had a great sturdy day bed with two rails in its back. As I was talking to one of the proprietors, I found they were willing to make me two rails for the front too. It is a bed they designed there, and the parts were readily available.

It came with a mattress and the price was affordable. They had it ready within a week.

Tonight is her first night in the bed, so wish us luck in her going to sleep.

A not so odd little family achievement.
