Right after Tim and I found out that I was pregnant with Bailey we started picking out big girl furniture for Taylor. We had an idea of what we wanted but didn't find it before the September 11th attacks and Tim was deployed. I got to pick out her first set of big girl furniture by myself and she/they have been using it ever since. I bought a loft bed set that suits them both fine and looks fine when split up. Up until moving to WA they shared a room.
Fast forward 6 years.
Yesterday my mom and I went out looking at furniture for Tay as I was pretty sure she needed more storage space. Since she doesn't have a closet in her room, she has a built in desk instead, she needed more drawer space. Well, we didn't just look, somehow the furniture followed us home!
The mattress is blue! It is a Memory Foam mattress with topper, the pillows are the same and are as flat a can be. Supposedly they puff up after a few hours but right now they would count as a deadly weapon in a pillow fight. The mattress also came in lime green or pink. Had it been Bailey I of course would have picked pink, Tay said she would have chosen green I told her that was why she stayed home.
Doesn't the room need look bare?? We had to take everything out of it for delivery. I know, I know, we paid to have it delivered. Our bedrooms are all on the 3rd floor. Heh.
That space under the bed is perfect for storage. Tim and I already warned Taylor that she isn't allowed to stick Bailey under there.
When Mom and Pete were up this morning I tried to stuff Pete under there but he is too big for me to maneuver. I guarantee that I will keep trying though, that might be my new mission in life. Hey, everyone has to have something to live for.
The best part is the mattress and its magical abilities.
When you sit on the mattress you leave an imprint of your butt and then it fades when you stand up. Some take longer to fade than others. *ahem* Taylor thinks this is the coolest thing ever except that she and Bailey are not heavy enough and so I keep getting yelled at Mom, come put your butt on my bed! I think that means she likes it.
Thanks mom!
