By their ecstatic reaction when we told the kids that they could sleep on the hide-a-bed on Friday night, you’d have thought that we’d just announced that we were taking them on an all-expense-paid trip to the American Girl store or something.  The cutest thing was when they exclaimed, “Oh! The HEIDI bed! We slept there with Aunt Heidi when she came to visit!” 

And so this is how the hide-a-bed came to be affectionately known as the “Heidi Bed” in the Tolbert household.
