What's up there?

A few months ago we bought Grant a bunk bed and some other big boy bedroom furniture (on Craigslist....imagine that!). A few weeks ago, we set up one of the twin beds (you can use them together or set them up separately). Dean opened the attic door so we could store Grant's old toddler bed up there. It's like a moth to a flame.....as soon as Dean opens the attic and brings down the ladder, Grant is always trying to climb up to see what's there. This time Drew tried to follow.

And Grant loves his new bed.  He sleeps great and actually lays in it normally (in his toddler bed, he'd curl up in the top quarter of the bed, just like he used to do in his crib).  But we're having some issues with bedtime lately.  I don't think they're related to switching beds (after all, he could get out of his toddler bed too).  But he seems to think that bedtime is optional.  Lately he's been playing for a long time after Dean leaves his room.  Dean gives him spankings when he's obviously jumping around up there......and especially when it's 9pm or later.

And sometimes he comes out of his room.  Last night Dean came upstairs after hearing him making noise 45 minutes after bedtime.  He went in Grant's room, and Grant wasn't there.  Where was he?  On top of our bed, playing with his Lightning McQueen.  Dean asked what he was doing, and Grant said something about not being able to go to sleep because his leg hurt.  Then he stood up in our bed and said, "it hurts when I stand on it."  What?!

Anyway, like I said, Grant does sleep well in his bed (once he actually goes to sleep!).  Here are a few pictures.....I still need to find a quilt or comforter for him before it gets cold outside.
