I know, I know, I know, please don't kill me. Audrey is still in her crib. She's just so active she would never sleep if we didn't keep her in her crib. And it's also a lazy thing. I just didn't want to do it.
Anyway I think it's time for audrey to get a "Big Girl" bed. Since she is turning 3 in a month...I can't believe my baby is not a baby any more. So I'm wondering what to get. A toddler bed or a Twin?
This is the toddler bed I want to get. It's about $59 at walmart. The good thing about this is I can use the crib mattress we already have and the toddler bedding that I've purchases recently. But the bad thing is that in a year or so we would have to get her a twin anyway. How long can a kid stay in a toddler bed?
These are the two twin beds I've been thinking about.
This one is also from Walmart for about $189, but they don't have it in the store. I would have to order it online and hope that it doesn't get broken in the process. And then I would also have to get a mattress and box spring. I'm not sure how much those would cost. (I could get a box spring and a mattress from Ikea for about $150) Bedding would be another thing to add to the price tag of the twin bed. So we're looking at close to $400. UGH! Child rearing can be expensive. But it is $400 that would be used for years.
And this one is from Shopko for about $199. The good thing about this one is that it's at the store. I can go and see it and find out if it would be a decent bed. But we still have the problem that I don't have a mattress and box spring and bedding.
Well let me know what you think. I've made a poll on the side bar or you can just comment. You could do both. I'm leaning toward the toddler bed. Since It seems like the twin bed is a lot of money right now. No, I am not buying a used mattress from craigslist.
