Why I Love Craigslist

Due to a lovely person's spontaneous decision to try to clean out her house of unnecessary stuff, we came away very rich on Saturday. Among our haul was about 20 maternity items for me, and THIS for Miles:

His very own big boy bed! Complete with mattress Crayola sheets, pillowcase (not shown), comforter and ABC pillows. He loved it immediately, as we suspected he would.

However, the question was, would he sleep in it?

I won't lie. Saturday was a bit rough. Naptime, when it happened, ended up being about 45 minutes long. He's quite confused by the ease with which he can get out of bed. At night on Saturday there were a lot of night wanderings, which we silently redirected each time. Twice in the past couple nights we've checked on him before turning in, only to find him curled up asleep on the floor.
But last night was loads better, with just one night waking. And he hasn't slept anywhere but his bed (and the floor, briefly) for the past two nights. Hoorah!

Oh, and the bed, mattress, and linens were a total of 30 dollars.
Start searching craigslist! What will you find?

Random, but I had to include: Miles and Papa camping out on the floor. I loved this.
