Big Kids

The big kids around here, Scott, Tres and Boty, all got new beds last week. Living on site at the hotel has a few limitations, but it also has SO MANY benefits. One of the limitations is that our living quarters are currently a bit on the small side. Not really important as we do not spend a lot of time in our personal living space. When you take into consideration the size of the entire facility, well we have so much space. However, due to the size limitations in our personal quarters it was necessary to build beds into the room rather than put in individual pieces of furniture. We planned the beds out a little while back, but wanted to give the beds to the kids as a bit of a surprise.

So one day while they were in school last week we began the installation process. Scott and Tres got super cool loft style beds. Boty has a toddler bed under Tres’ bed. It has been a transition for each of them. The boys moved from toddler beds into the loft beds and Boty moved from the crib into the toddler bed. Patrick has a spot under Scott’s bed for his crib when he is ready to move out of his parent’s room after he grows up a bit more.

As you can see from the looks on the kids’ faces this was and is a big deal. Tres can’t hardly keep himself out of his bed, no matter the time of day. And they haven’t even begun to exploit the whole fort making possibilities that I am sure they will build down the road.
