Alternate Title: My love/hate relationship with Ikea
OR
Why does Ikea furniture always take a minimum of 3 hours to put together?
On Family Day, we decided that today would be the day to move Micah out of his crib and into his own big boy bed. We headed to Ikea for a mattress, since we already had his bed flat packed and stored under Joel's bed. (Its a bunk bed that can be separated into two twin beds).
Once we got home, we put the bed together. What a mess! But FIVE hours later, we finally had both boy's beds together. (Putting together Micah's bed meant taking apart some of Joel's and reassembling it with a new taller headboard). We scrambled around and rearranged Micah's room to fit his new bed and promptly put Micah in it to go to sleep. He was a bit startled, but once we explained where all his favorite items were, he settled down and fell asleep.
We haven't had a problem with the transition (yet), and Micah stays in his bed all night long. I'm sure we will have problems in the future, but Micah is pretty laid back about most things, so hopefully it'll stay that way. He loves his new bed!
