Stroke of Genious

We've been thinking about the arrival of our little girl (if in two weeks she is still a girl - since it was so early). Gavin is so funny about certain things. If Donovan is sitting in Daddy's lap he will go over to Donovan and pinch him. If I am leaning on Scott or vice-versa he pushes us. He is incredibly territorial and I believe jealous. I remember the hard time Donovan had with giving up his crib when we brought it home, and he was four and had a bit of an understanding of what was going on. I'm pretty sure Gavin will not understand, so we have 5 months before the baby gets here to start thinking of these things. I would love to be able to get another crib for her, and let Gavin grow with the crib. It is one of those cribs that turns to a toddler bed, then a full size later on. However if the boys end up sharing a room than we have a problem with space. Donovan has this beautiful bed that is about shoulder high, a twin size bed would fit beautifully underneath it. Gavin's crib would not, and the space is just not conducive to two beds, and if we move who knows how much space we will have at that point! Heck, if we move back to the house than all three kiddos would be in one room and then we would really have a space issue!!!!!

So I had a stroke of genius today as we were at Costco buying yogurt. A twin bed for Gavin. We could buy a twin bed for around $200 with our tax money (if we get anything). Rails can be purchased really cheap and the bed would fit perfectly under Donovan's bed. Eventually we would buy a frame that would match D's but for the interim a metal frame will suffice. We could move Gavin over to that room and as he got used to it I or Scott could lie with him for a bit to get used to the idea of such a big bed. We could have one of those safety nets for him. Ain't I just brilliant!!!!!

Okay, we put Gavin down almost 2 hours ago. He had no nap at all today and he is in his crib right now switching between talking to himself and crabbing at us. Sigh, I hate when he gets too tired, it's almost like being too tired is pure caffeine in his system! Right now he is calling out "Oh Gosh, Oh Gosh, Oh Gosh!"
