the big boy bed

There has never been a crib for Eli....a bed that he could call his own. He stayed in the bassinet until he completely filled it up....then he was moved to a pack-n-play. He never complained and he probably never knew that there was a problem.

Jake was still in the white Jenny Lind crib when Eli was born and saw no reason to be displaced.

Before Amanda, Jake, and Eli left for Savannah I ordered a cute little white youth bed and sent it to Louisville. It is the same size as a crib (it uses a crib mattress) but is close to the floor and has half railings. Mark was to move the crib to Eli's room and set up the new big boy bed for Jake.

On arrival at 12:45 am Friday morning in Louisville Jake was placed by his "dran-daddy" in his new bed. He was fast asleep. So far it is as if he is still in the crib. He stays in the bed until someone comes and gets him out. He happily goes for his nap and he has never acknowledged that there has been any change

I wonder how long it will take him to figure out that he is not in the crib anymore and that he is free as a bird?

Bubba got home at 7:00 pm last evening. He had traveled over 1300 miles in a little over 24 hours. He was spent to say the least. He seems okay today, but it's too soon to tell. The magnitude of the trip could hit him at any time. I hope the shrimp creole that I am making tonight will make everything better.
