WOW!

Honestly, I'd love it if some one made me one as a gift, or if I sewed it myself. I would never PAY for it.

WOW. Love it!

My son went right from his crib to the bottom bunk of bunk beds (obviously) at around 18 months in order to help make room for a new brother on the way (I didn't want him to feel like the baby was 'stealing' his bed, so we put the crib away for a while until the baby needed it). It worked out great for us. We put up an extra long guardrail, which almost made it seem like an extra large crib. He had a little trouble at first climbing into the bed, but you'd be surprised how quickly a kid will get the hang new things like that if they're just given the chance to try it supervised a few times.

I don't think I could handle my sling in the water for the same reason, I'd be afraid of drowning my poor baby. Besides that, I'm sorry, but the supposed "moms" in their product pictures are really off putting in my opinion. Any mom with two young kids does not look like that at the pool.

Bike helmet thing: When I was a kid living there my parents outfitted my bike with a bell and made me start wearing a helmet because it was the law (or so I was told). Why does this sort of thing always turn into a mini "Country Competition"?
Neat kindergarten. Simple enough.

Love the mod dot blanket. I'll never, never, never have enough blankets!

I like the labels with pictures, but clothes pins at my toddler's level is an accident waiting to happen.

I would keep it in in my room. Maybe it could keep my older son occupied for and prevent him from (lovingly) poking his little brother in the face while I fold some laundry.

It's a very nice room, both peaceful and fresh. However, I do not think it is a very good example of putting together a nursery "without spending a fortune".
