Big Boy Bed

Last week, our neighbor Nick, who is probably 80 and getting ready to move into his daughter's house after his wife died last summer, offered to give us a twin bed that he had in their spare room. I felt bad taking it from him because his description was "this is a great bed, worth a lot of money, practically brand new, hardly ever slept on." So, when I protested and said he should sell it, his response was, "I'm not doing this for you. I'm doing this for Logan." So a couple days later, Logan had a big boy bed of his own. We were so worried that Logan would be a disaster in this new bed and were prepared to have to put him back in it 100 times the first night. But to our surprise, Logan has been so good! He goes to sleep as soon as we put him in his bed and after one week now, we haven't had to tell him to "get back in bed" once! What a big boy!

We sure will miss our neighbor Nick when he moves. He loves our boys and about once a week he brings over pretzel rods or cheese puffs for them. As our other neighbor put it once, "Nick is a good egg!"
