Welcome to the Crib

We made a list of things to get done while David is home this week. Simple things like "take a load to the Salvation Army," and "buy batteries for all the smoke alarms." Nothing too taxing, since David is lame and all.

Yesterday we finished hanging all the things that have just been piling up in Daphne's room. Her room up to this point has mostly been a place to stash her clothes and toys, not really a place of great beauty. Oh, we've hung a wall hanging here and there. Bought a hamper and some baskets. Otherwise, nada.

So David got out the tools and hung the rest of her stuff. Like these pictures that you can't see, but are photographs that David took when we were in Boston of the duckling statues from the book Make Way for Ducklings. This is one of my all time favorite children's books. I was so happy to have fulfilled a life long dream in visiting the Public Gardens, where this story was based.














Daphne helped by trying to eat a large pea and attacking her stuffed Lola dog.































These pictures are for all of you out-of-towners who need to know where Daphne lays her pretty little head. Except that she doesn't, because she still sleeps in her bassinet right next to me. Putting her in her own room to sleep makes me feel like I'm sending her off to Kindergarten or something. Too sad to think about. Anyways, to the rest of you, these photos might be very, very boring.





































































David is the amazing one who built all the shelving, including the little one that has Daphne's Easter dress hanging on it and the dark one with books in it, as well as put up the chair rail. He has talents.

It is such a good thing I had a girl, because I had all these wonderful purple items that needed a room to be displayed in. David doesn't want to live in a house decorated in various shades of lavender, so I am very happy to have one room where Daphne's favorite color can take over.
