We're inching closer to Kira's arrival! Just 3 weeks now until my due date!
Max and I set up her bed today so she has somewhere to sleep when she comes home. I LOVED this cosleeper with Titus and I'm hoping it works out just as well with Miss Kira.
Max freaked out when I first pulled it out of the closet today...
"We can't let her use this bed, Mama! It's not even pink!!"
So we dug deep in her closets and pulled out her box of blankets. He picked the pink quilt with squares to cover the plain white sheet and mattress on the bottom and a gray and pink rose covered swaddle wrap to wrap her up in and make her cozy. Such great taste.
He wasn't thrilled with the look of the empty bed. He wanted to put it back. He says that Kira doesn't need her own bed. He says he'd like her to sleep in his bed so they can cuddle. I had to break his tender little heart and say no to that plan. I tried to explain that babies need their mamas a lot at night time so it might not work out great. She needs to be close to me. He finally gave in {reluctantly} and decided we could leave it set up for her - on one condition. We are to buy her more stuffed animals to sleep with. He's very concerned she'll be sad and lonely if she doesn't have anyone/anything to cuddle at night. We put her 2 kangaroos in there for her and Max decided to share a special Monkey {but not THE Monkey} to make her happy and keep her kangaroos and bed safe until she's born.
Once Titus heard we were sharing with her, he ran and grabbed his favorite Army guys. I couldn't get him to leave my bed until he had them set up just so for her. She is one blessed little girl.
Is there an official award for best big brothers ever? I nominate these guys.
They win.
