Big Boy Bed and no more binki's

**mothers don't pass judgement that Huntyr still had a binki**

My story begins with an idea to serach for Huntyr a big boy bed. I started out with the local furniture stores, then moved on to KSL.com to search for a used one. I knew what I wanted, the beds with the storage underneath, because his room is not that big. I finally found a newer one on KSL called and they had sold it just prior to me calling (go figure it was super nice). I emailed this person back the next day to ask where they had purchased the bed. RC Willey, so on Saturday we headed down there to check it out. It was much more than I wanted to spend but we decided to bite the bullet and buy it anyway (sort of) we put 20% down and then was going to go home and measure to see which one we wanted to get the twin or the full. Then we would call back and pay for the rest. When we got home from a long day in Layton and Odgen I decided to check one more time on KSL to see if I could find this bed set, and to my surprise, one had been posted just an hour prior to me checking. I called and told them I wanted it, a nightstand and an entertainment center went along with the bed, all for 300.00 cheaper than what I was about to spend at RC Willey's just for the bed itsefl. At 8:30 at night we headed back to Odgen to get the bed, once we got out of the canyon Huntyr decided he wanted to be car sick, so we had quiet a mess on our hands. At Midnight we rolled back into our driveway with the bed in tow..Who knew the bed would be such trauma, but I wanted it so bad, I'm sure Huntyr could have cared less.

Prior to us getting the bed, every night before Huntyr went to bed, we reminded him when he got his big boy bed, he couldn't have his binki anymore. We set the bed up and he was really good about throwing the bink in the garbage, it was easier than I thought and he has been 3 days without it. Its a miracle, my little baby is growing on up.

There is a cubby door with storage under the bed, I'm not sure who is having more fun playing in it


The cubby door that lead to Josh and Huntyr's secret hide-a-way

He looks so tiny in this huge bed, I'm sure that will change quickly.
