I sold it on craigslist but I must say it brought many happy memories to our family. We bought this when Ollie was almost three. We lived in Lubbock at the time and found it for a good deal. He was so EXCITED to have a firetruck bed. The first night he slept in it he fell out the little door area. He cried and didn't want to sleep in his bed again. Papa solved the problem by putting a piece of cardboard over the opening and it was back to bed. Ollie loved this bed. He loved to show his friends his bed when they came over. All his little friends loved to play in the bed with him. It's been climbed on, jumped off, filled with toys, colored on, and everything else little boys (and girls) do to a bed.
A few years later Ollie was too big for this bed. He got a new bunk bed (because we were going to have another boy who would share a room with him... lol) and the bed got passed to Lily. She was excited to have a new bed (and share a room with Ollie).
After we moved the girls into a room together we were no longer using this bed. We kept it for a little while. Ollie didn't want to sell it because he liked to lay in it and read books; but we had no room for it. Spencer and I also kind of wanted to keep it but no room so it got sold.
Ollie's room has much more room in it without three beds- for one boy. :) We did love this bed and have lots of fun memories!
