finally the day has come! i sat down and told chris. in a kind, nice way that joey NEEDS a bigger bed. she will be 4 in july and out grew her toddler/crib bed. i went mattress shopping last week, i found one i loved. in the budget at costco. so sunday after church we hit up costco and ran in to about 20 ppl we knew. ha. and got joey her mattress. we also scored lunch to feed us all for 10.00.
we came home and chris took the crib a part. this is HUGE man. we are now parents of bigger kids! no more babies, diapers, bottles, naps etc....we have big kids!
after i put the mattress down i realized that i dont have a mattress cover or sheets. oops. (chris is going to build a frame later) so i took joey to walmart and she picked out her new sheet. im going to pick up a duvet and cover next time im in halifax (ikea) but honestly, she only sleeps with her blanket, she kicks off all the other ones
so excited. in her new bed. with bright red cheeks. the kids have been sick all week with sinus/colds. its nasty!
so. monday was ellies first zoo camp day. i felt like it was her first day of school. lol. my friend picked her up and took her with her crew. too save me from taking all my kids to drop her off at the zoo. anyways. ellie was all dressed and ready to go. at the door. waiting with her pack, pack. and 1000 questions. she was nervous, excited, scared and needed to know the plan
i sat with her and we talked. i answered all her questions. i laid out how the day would go. and told her she was safe, and its GOOD for her to go and be with her friends. we had arranged for ellies little group of friends would all be there.
ignore me. i look rough. it was early. haha. anyways. she went and had a BLAST. she came home and talked a good 10 mins about how AMAZING it was, all the animals she pet, they went through the zoo, played at the park, had snack, made a craft, read a story. it was so much fun!
i signed her up for 2 more sessions. its fun and scary to watch them grow and go. but like i told her, our verse this week is "the lord is with me; i will not be afraid. ps 118:6" she repeated it over and over and out she went
sob. shes growing up too fast
