Last week I went to visit my sister who lives in Ohio. My mom got to come too, and Whitney enjoyed seeing her Grandma again! Whitney had so much fun playing with her cousin Gene. When they met us at the airport, Gene held Whitney's hand all the way to the car. So cute!! While we were there it was rainy and cold, but we were still able to have lots of fun. We went to IKEA, which is always fun. Mel got Gene a big boy bed so that Zion could have the toddler bed when Mel has her baby in July. We decorated the room with an airplane theme, which turned out really cute. We took a tour of the day care center John and Mel are planning to open in the fall(it looked like a huge project!!). We went to a children's science museum where Whitney was brave enough to touch a
real starfish! The plane rides there and back were really long, but the girls did great. Brooke slept in the sling most of the time and Whitney watched Mickey Mouse Clubhouse on my computer. Thanks John and Mel for letting us come to visit, and thanks Hun for letting us leave for a week!
A couple weeks ago I got Whitney a toddler bed. It's black to match the crib and I also made her a blanket to match the crib layette and room decor. I also got Whitney a special "autch box" for her to keep her binkies. So I did all that I could to entice her to sleep in it but, still it sat there for a week before she finally decided to try it out. So...last Wednesday afternoon she decided to take a nap in it, so she did. That evening I changed the crib mattress height for Brooke. That night Whitney cried a little bit, but eventually went to sleep. She's been sleeping in it for about a week now and seems to love it. Brooke is also getting used to her new bed, and seems to love it too. It is sooo hard to change a routine, but sometimes necessary.
