Oh man, I hope you bought the outlet covers that are too big to fit through the center of a toilet paper tube. Turns out if the kid is as smart as you she’ll pop those things right out of the wall and eat ‘em. In the states, we have ones that fit one big safe piece over both outlets. Impossible to swallow (which is more of a danger than the electricity thing).

I highly recommend the toilet paper tube test on every item in your house. If it fits through, it’s a baby choking hazzard.

Thank you so much for the offer, Mom. But as you may have noticed, we are in the wonderful situation of having SIX pairs of friends all have children in the last three years – so there is a wealth of “gifts” and useful items making their way down the hand-me-down chain. If there is anything we need. rest assured that we will not hesitate in asking. But at the moment, we’re golden!

or . . . you can have Nana buy a crib of your choice, having so many friends and relatives it is hard to figure out just the right gift for baby girl.
Let me know, or think about it. I am arriving on the 15th.
With tons of love

Yes, you can make it into a bed but apparently we want Ian to start sleeping in real a bed ASAP. Yep, that’s what we want. Or at least that’s what my woman says we want. So we have an extra bed which we were thinking of swapping out with the crib soon.

Anyway, I think we’re gonna get one of those bed-in-a-closet deals so he has room to play in his room with the bed hid away.

So if’n ya wannit, it’s yerz.

@Bob – Thanks for the offer of the crib! According to the specs on the Ikea page, you can eventually remove one of the side walls and lower the mattress so he can get in and out all by himself. Are you not going to take advantage of this option? Or is he freakishly tall like yourself making it obsolete?

If Little Girl had a name, I’d probably tell you it. The truth is that we’ve narrowed the options down to a select few, but until we actually see her face, we probably won’t write anything in stone. Don’t worry, only a few days left! Then all will be revealed.

As for the dream house, it doesn’t exists in any solid state. It’s more of a dynamic vision that changes on the fly as I find new and exciting ways of furnishing it. It definitely has a large terrace, though.

can i try to figure out “litte girl”s name? or better yet, can you tell me?

you’re living off my college experiences and im loving (not living) your baby experiences so i’d say we’re pretty equal

since you’re staying up til 6am, why not do a blueprint of the imaginary fantasy house so we can all see

Don’t be a schmuck. You can have our crib. It’s only a year old and Ian’s almost too big for it. Save yourself 100 euros:

… you can go back to Ikea anyway and shop for the imaginary fantasy house of your dreams … you geek.
