THE Bed

Jeremy was messing around online one day and came across the story of a guy who built his kid a firetruck bed. He thought, "I could do that." He began researching and finding plans. Once he settled on his blueprint, there was no turning back. 

For Jonah's 3rd birthday, he got a firetruck bed!

The process in pictures:

Pausing from painting to watch a plane fly over

"Look, Daddy, an airplane!"

Apparently it wasn't enough to paint the boards.

Almost ready!

Jeremy put it all together (with Uncle Micah's help) around 11 p.m. one night. Jonah insisted on staying up to see it finished.

You know when you give someone a gift expecting a huge response and instead they just quietly thank you?

This was not one of those times.

This kid was psyched!

But he pretty quickly crashed out.

Since these pics, Jeremy has added a steering wheel, levers, switches, an ignition, and a slide with storage steps.

Every time Jonah prays, he almost always prays the same thing:

"God, thank You for my firetruck bed and my baby brother. Amen."
