Yeah, it’s been one of those days.  It is about 85 degrees in my house and the kids had doctors appointments today.  No worries though, it was just school physical time.  Madison weighed in at 60.6 pounds and she is 49 1/2 inches tall.  (We are going to Great America in a couple of weeks, so I am going to have to check out what rides this will allow her to ride.  My mom is a little worried, because Madison only has about 11 more inches to grow to be taller than her!).  This year they gave us her BMI reading which is 84%.  Healthy weight is 5%-85%, so she just made it under the wire.  However, if you’ve ever seen Madison, you’d know how thin she is, so I’m just like whatever with the BMI thing.  Will is 40.4 pounds and 42 inches tall.  His BMI was 52%.  Needless to say, we aren’t worry about the BMI.  Unfortunately, Will ended up with 2 shots.  It was that or he’d have to get 5 come kindergarten.  I choose 2 today and next year he’ll get the other 3.  Poor kid.

And that leads us to the headboards part of the title of this post.  Bill and I have been talking about when we move Will out of his toddler bed.  The first thing you have to take into account is that his room is only 9′ x 11′.  He has no closet.  I would also like him to be able to play in his room.  Of course, that does not give us a whole ton of options.  Right now, the toddler bed works.  However, if he keeps growing like a weed, it won’t!  I am thinking that headboards for full size beds or even king headboards, just aren’t going to work in his room.  The kicker is that with his crib, we actually have the full size headboard.  Honestly, I am thinking we will just have to check out moreheadboards.com and find a twin size headboard and then get him a new mattress.

How long to you wait to move your kids out of their toddler beds?  What size bed did you move them to?  What size bed would you think I should get for him considering how small that room is?
