For the last few weeks, Billy has been unhappy with his bed. Some nights it was too bouncy. Some nights it had a monster. We figured it was time to get the bunk beds.
Kevin put them together this morning with a little bit of help.
Ricky made himself a comic book called “Save Rusty from Space” which he read to Kevin. I’m sure it inspired the building.
Rusty tried reading to Kevin too.
Then he took a pony ride.
I love Billy in the background of this one (no animals were hurt in the taking of this pictures).
With all that help, the beds somehow managed to be finished. And the piling on of their favorite stuffed friends began.
Even our cat Linus was thrilled. He climbed onto Billy’s bed and meowed at me until I put him up on the top bunk. Then he curled up and enjoyed himself.
Ricky is a little hesitant climbing up the ladder, but I think he’ll get over that pretty fast. He isn’t afraid, just slow and cautious.
Don’t they look happy?
Billy’s first nap didn’t seem successful at first … he fell asleep on the floor. But I found him later sleeping on his bed. Ricky came home from school and couldn’t wait for Billy to wake up from his nap so that he could play on his top bunk. For Ricky, it is outer space (his new blanket does have rockets and planets on it) and Billy’s bed is the road. They have a blue bean bag (the fish) which is the pond and a green one that is a hill. He’s got it all worked out. Then he reached over and touched the top of one of the ceiling fan blades. Ricky had to inform me that it felt dirty and “we” should clean it more often. The twerp!
