Stephanie,
I hope you get this comment. Thanks for the note on my blog! To answer your question about the big bed for Mason, we were desperate for one because he could climb out of his crib but not back in. So I immediately got on Craig's List and started searching for mattresses. I found this place on it that you have to make an appointment to go see the mattresses since they sell to retail stores and not usually to everyday customers. So I did and found his (it's an amazing full-size mattress with a four inch pillowtop and would retail for probably 1200 or more) for $380. I paid way too much for delivery I found out later, but I'm just glad he has a bed. We just put one of those childproofing doorknob covers on the inside of his door so he can't get out and is forced to climb back onto his bed and eventually goes to sleep. I know it sounds harsh, but trust me, Mason leaves us no choice. I hope you're doing well. Your little girl is so cute! I'll talk to you soon!
