Is the above collage cute or what?When we just had girls, I always said "I'd love to have a boy...because I really want one of those cool race car toddler beds!"
This spring, my mom found one for us and just this past weekend, we brought it to our house to make the big switch from crib to big boy bed. Andy had all the car wash stuff out for a "car (bed) wash" and as he turned his back to grab the camera, suddenly all 4 kids were hard at work, getting Colin's new bed ready!
The switch went amazingly well...as long as we didn't call it a BED. If we talked about it as a CAR, Colin was happy....call it a BED, he was hysterical. (This was huge...this is the babe that used his crib bumpers until he was 22 months old!) The switch went well, but none of us could handle the car. What a bummer. The car had been played with outside and had the worst smell we could ever imagine. Not so bad on first glance, but after being in Colin's room for 12 hours last night, the room just reeked. We tried a few things today and then decided that we'd start our search for another carbed. I listed the bed on Craigslist and within 1 hour, someone called to pick it up tonight, for the price that we had paid!
For now.....Colin is sleeping in Ava's "sleigh" bed. Too bad he doesn't know what a sleigh is.... :)
What a big boy! Now....we just have to get the crib out of his room!

Katie, a friend of mine had the same plastic smell problem so her husband made one. To the outside box they added tap lights for headlights, painted on wheels and real hubcaps, drawer pulls for door handles. They even added racing stickers to the "hood". Good luck finding a new one. Amy
