New big boy bed

Seeing as there is an almost 3-year old in our house, it was time for a new bed. We talked about it a bit and Cooper announced that he 'would like a bunk bed for my big-boy bed please mummy'. So eventually off we went to do some shopping and he was quite taken with one that had it's own staircase (as were we, as a staircase seems a little more safe than a ladder). So we ordered it (along with various matching pieces of furniture), and a few days before it was to be delivered Cooper said 'I would like black sheets on my bed'. I tried to ignore the request, but it was repeated several times over about 3 days including in the shop where we went to get the sheets and duvets (comforters) - sheets etc plural as of course you need double of everything being bunks. So trying to get something to go with black sheets was interesting - couldn't be orange as that would look like Halloween which was in full swing at the time; so I found a green to match the stripe in his curtains that had white spots on it. When the bunks arrived and I was making up the beds there was a bit of a commotion about not wanting the spotted side, only the nice green side of the duvet. So here is the psychedelic green underside which for Cooper is the outside (and does NOT match the stripe in the curtains!). You are forgiven for thinking that we have a teenager in the house!!!
Luckily his room is quite big as the bunks are quite huge. On the left underneath is a writing desk and the double-bed underneath has wheels on it so good for moving to vacuum. The stairs have drawers in them which is quite cool.

A lot of time is spent just playing on the top during the day! He does sleep on the bottom at night but is allowed to have his afternoon sleep on top if he wants. Here is the view from the top!

I can't believe three years have past since we saw his little white bed and drawers. Not sure about those black sheets though. I wonder if his reasoning was to do with night time, dark, can't see colours. His face is very happy with his big boys bed.
