Ah, the transition from crib to bed. Life’s such a joy.
We came across this sleek looking todddler bed — yes, as in for small children — over at Heather’s Dooce.com. This thing looks nice. Low to the ground… shoot, if it were bigger, we’d buy it ourselves! (Unfortunately, our feet would share space on the bench/bookshelf thing. Ah, well.)
We love the design. So smooth. It looks almost like you could side the end out further to make more room, or slide it in for storage. Of course they haven’t invented that kind of mattress (at least, not that we know of) yet, but great design. Close to the floor too, so if your little one is having trouble adjusting (read: falling out of bed), it isn’t as far to go!
You can find this bed all over the internet, but Dooce recommended (and when the lady speaks, we listen. If we didn’t, she might throw a tequila bottle at us. Or send Chuck after us.) ToddlerBeds.com, where you’ll find this bed for $199 shipped free. Free shipping. On a bed. Seriously.
Good luck with the transition with Leta, Heather!
