I guess I should address the twin bed. Yes, that is a twin bed for a 20 lb. two year old. I have thought about this long and hard and weighed the options. When we started this I wanted a 3-5 yr old. Mark wanted a baby. We settled on 2 1/2-4 1/2 for our referral age. I thought, "Surely they will send me a 4 yr old. Who wants those children?". They told me you could get a referral slightly outside your age range. I thought, "Even better! They will give me a 5 yr old!". Nope, I'm getting a 2 yr. old. Who would have thought!!! Which brings me to the fact that I am completely unprepared for a "baby". I debated on putting a crib back up, or maybe a toddler bed. I decided to stick with the bed and use side rails(not shown here). I know I'm bringing home a baby, but 6 months later she will be turning 3! It's an awkward time. If it seems wrong and she doesn't do well we'll throw a toddler bed up!
Other good progress...our FBI clearances came today! One more loose end tied up. And just for laughs...Mark took Alexa to the Auto Show last night. When I asked what her favorite car was she said, "I like the smartest car!". AKA-Smart car.
That's our Lexi!!! Love the room...
ReplyDeleteThe room is really cute. FYI, I still have Ava in a crib at 2, and she loves it. never has tried to get out. What is she sleeping in at the Orphanage?
ReplyDeleteMy other girls were in a cib past 3, but she's already in a toddler bed. I'm worried that going back to a crib could scare her. Plus, I don't have a crib anymore so it would involve me buying or borrowing a crib, setting it up, and buying new bedding. I've opted to go with the easy option first and see how it goes!
