Jack and his big boy bed

We bought bunk beds earlier this summer excited for Jack to transition into his new big boy bed in plenty of time before the baby arrived. However, we discovered Jack had ZERO interest in leaving his crib. He tried his bunk bed out for about 5 minutes the first night and was done. Since then he's been gracious enough to offer to let the baby sleep with him in the crib when he arrives.

Then, inspiration hit. I told Jack that if he wanted he could take his crib apart with Daddy's drill. Then, in it's place we'd put the extra twin bed that we have. Well, mention power tools to the boy and he's all for it! The first night he only slipped out of his bed 4 times. The second night 2 times. Then last night - he slept perfectly all night! This photo was taken after his 3 hour Sunday-nap. He's was feeling extremely well rested.

Now if I can only figure out how to incorporate power tools into potty training...
