BIG

A BIG box arrived at our house yesterday. The boys were so excited that it finally came. But I bet you'll never guess what was inside this big box.
Any guesses? I'll give you a hint. It goes with this:

Henry is so excited to be moving out of his little toddler bed and into a real big boy bed. We had everything ready but we were just waiting for the mattress to arrive. And this is how it came, rolled up in a box!

You just unroll it,

open it up,
remove the plastic covering,

and let it expand!

Then you jump and tumble on it if you are 4 1/2 and almost 3.

We ordered Henry at Keetsa mattress. It is an eco-friendly option that we tried out at New Living, our local green store that is walking distance from our house! The mattress doesn't have springs so they can compress it and box it up, which is a great green shipping option because it takes up a lot less room in a truck.

Once we opened up the mattress, the boys helped Daddy put the rest of the bed together.

And I set up the bedding. Henry's new big boy room is rocket and space themed, and I found this great bedding at Land of Nod. Henry loves it! The rest of the room is still a work in progress, but I don't think Henry cares at all!

Henry said, "I love my new bed!" over and over.

Will was just a tad jealous about Henry's new special bed, but fortunately we had a little box with a BIG present inside waiting for him. What could it be?

It's Stephen Biesty's Incredible Cross-Sections and Will is in seventh heaven with this book.

Gene has a cross-sections book by the same author that Will pores over, so we decided to order this one up for him. He loves it and he completely forgot that he wanted to sleep in Henry's new room last night! Both boys were really excited about their boxed-up goodies, but in the end, the size of the box didn't really matter!
