The Caribbean Toddler Bed

Here it is!! It can be hard and expensive to find cribs/beds here on the island. So thanks to the Spouses Org. (through the school) we can get the hand-be-downs.  Which are always greatly appreciated!! This Toddler Bed has been through 6 Medical student families. We were fortunate enough to score it from Nicole:)  Notice the bottom legs of the bed.... they broke off somewhere along the way, so we've got it sitting up on two step stools and Ben also added the board along the side (With zip ties) so that Holdyn doesn't roll out :)   So far Holdyn LOVES it!  We also got the little black puzzle foam mat thing to go around the edges of her bed. Now, if she rolls out she won't land with a splat on the tile floor.  She goes to bed much better than we expected!  Hopefully the next kid adjusts to changes as good as little Holdyn!

What's that about the mother of invention...??? :) Awsome job on the legs and the bedrail! That's great Holdyn is loving her bed, I have been contemplating when to switch Maddi, since the crib will be in demand later this year. Wow, these girls are growing up!
