Emry and Gyunay have been in the bunk bed that my inlaws originally made for Elijah and Malachi nearly 16 years ago. It's a very sturdy bed, and it's been well-used by all of these boys, but we had one big problem that had to be addressed: Gyunay was having trouble getting into and out of the top bunk. (And Emry is scard of heights and won't sleep on the top.) Simultaneously, Emry has grown quite a bit, and his clothes no longer fit in his very small dresser, so we also needed more drawer space. Naturally, the room isn't getting any bigger, so I looked into bunk beds with stairs (instead of ladders) that also had storage, and we agreed to buy a new bed.
Fortunately, I have a grown son who helps me out a lot around here! Elijah took apart their old bed and started assembly on the new one. He then had to leave, so Nathaniel and Emry continued work in the evening. Elijah came back home and joined in, with Gyunay acting as gopher.
Emry was excited to learn how to use the drill.
Before bedtime, they had the main bed together. It also has a trundle. Since the stairs were not completed, Gyunay slept in the trundle the first night.
But the next day, Elijah made the stairs, complete with drawers!
I re-arranged all of the boys' clothes, so everything now fits in the storage available. The boys love their new bed, too.
They made superbowl appetizer trays. They still have two more classes, and they are really looking forward to them.
