We went down to Davis County to buy a van. Yup, we are minivan people now! Honestly it needed to be done so we did it. I love our new car and you like it too! :) It came with a DVD player which I think is your personal favorite feature! :)
Now a couple weeks ago Uncle Bryan offered us a twin bed they weren't using. We had been discussing moving you from your crib. You started to get very into thing that are yours. It began to be, "my crib". I worried you would have jealousy issues with the new baby taking over your bed. While a free bed would be nice, we had no way to get it to our house. We lived three hours away with no way to transfer it. If we rented a truck it would be cheaper to buy a new bed.
So anyways, while we were down we were at Bryan's with our new van and he mentioned the bed would probably fit in the van. So after convincing from your dad that we could make it pretty, we took it. The bed was black. Aunt Brittney had painted it and I just didn't like it at all! So we drug it back up to Vernal and first thing went to Lowe's. A very nice man helped us on how to do it and off we went. We painted the bed white and was pretty cute and looked so much better. So it took all day. Between painting and getting a mattress and traveling home from Davis County. So we started putting it together about 7:30 ish at night. Now uncle Bryan gave us what he thought were the right screws. Well they stuck out on the inside and we were worried they would tear the mattress. So we went and bought shorter ones of the same screw. Well that semi worked. We got one side together with the shorter screws but for some reason the other side wouldn't go together with the shorter screws. After calling Bryan he informed us the screws didn't reach the mattress and we could use the longer ones. But we had already returned the longer ones we had bought. So we all loaded back up in the car and went back to Lowe's. (3rd trip that day) After putting it together we realized we were missing nails. So I stayed home with you and Bently while Dad went and bought nails. It was a nightmare. Especially because you and Bently had been off schedule and were both exhausted and emotional and naughty. Finally after 8 ish hours working on it the bed was together. You had already fallen asleep in my bed so we just moved you over! I was really worried you would fall off but you never did. You did get stuck between the bed and the wall once.
The first night you slept in it, (September 18th) you woke up a lot and ended up camping out with your Dad. But since then, things have been smooth sailing. So far you haven't gotten out of bed. You treat it like your crib and stay in there till we come and get you. Except in the mornings you'll come out with Bently when you guys wake up! It was weird the first morning having both of you come into my room! :) I'm so grateful it's been easy thus far. I know eventually you'll probably learn you can get out and it'll be a whole new adventure but for now, I'm just going to enjoy you being an easy child! :)
You are big girl now and love your bed! :) You call it your new bed and tell us all about how you sleep in it! I can't believe you are growing up! It's gone by fast beautiful! I know once the new baby is here you'll seem even older! I love you! Don't grow up too fast okay?
Love,
Mom
