John's been busy!

This week John put together a platform for Luci to sleep on.  Before I show you this fantastic bed/sleeping platform, let me show you the other beds that Luci has had in her room since moving here:  

November 2006 ~~Bryan putting Luci's crib together

 March 2008  ~~  Just the crib mattress on the floor

 July 2008 ~~ a real bed, big enough for Mommy to sleep with Luci (yeah, right, as soon as she nods off, she's perpendicular!).  Also big enough for company, should any be brave enough to stay here overnight....

 December 2010 ~~ Maybe, just maybe, she'll sleep in this bed

and Today ~~ the extravaganza, the whoop-de-doo, the bed to end all beds!

Whatcha wanna bet that she won't sleep here, either?

This is a fantastic play space!

I figure this is just another pretty bed, set up for looking at.  Because I betcha she won't sleep in it any time soon.

Usually Luci and I end up on the floor in the living room.  When she starts out in her room, she ends up on the floor with me there--crammed between her bed and the kitchen playset (it's a tiny, tiny room).  So, we end up moving to the living room floor. 

It's getting kind of old for this old mommy.  I don't get stiff, which is a surprise to both John and me.  It's just that I'd rather Luci be able to sleep by herself.  She wants a little sister, then "I can sleep with her, mommy!"  Yeah, right.  I don't think that's happening.  So, I sleep with her.  Luci's counselor says this will pass, Luci will eventually not need me next to her.  Be tough, you say?  I baby her, you say?  You are not living with a sweet little girl who thinks she's being abandoned.  Again.  :( 

New Sheets

Luci decided she didn't like the Bob the Builder sheets after all. She wanted girly sheets. So, on grocery day, we found this pink, pink sheet at Walmart. Doesn't it look better with that green wall? Here is Luci at her nap today, wearing her pink dress and sleeping on her pink pillowcase and wearing her pink-spotted socks. Do you think she likes pink?

The Big Bed!

Well, sort of big bed. It is a real twin mattress instead of the crib mattress. Luci is in love with this bed! The boys rescued it from a bed in the Man Cave and we fixed it up for Miss Luci. She has spent all afternoon jumping on it, laying on it, reading books and doing puzzles on it. About the bedding: It's a mish-mash of princess crib comforter, princess pillowcase and JT's old Bob the Builder sheets. Luci thinks it looks great, and that's all that matters. (Why the bib? It was in the dress-up box, that's why. She needs no reason. I'm just happy she has clothes on!) I got this bookcase and rug long before Luci came home.
The closet. Luci has a whole box of costumes. She can be anything from a bride to a princess to a pirate or even a Blue Angels pilot.

Yes, I know the room is GREEN.
