Cribs, Cribs, Cribs...and a Twinkie Picture!

Well, the crib dilemma is SOLVED. We took it back and looked around the store and found one that we somehow overlooked last time. And we got it instead. And...it matches and looks FABULOUS in the room. Charles did a great job of putting it together and it was so fun to put all of his little sheets and everything on it! Now it's looking like a real baby's room. No pictures yet, we are going to wait until we get everything up on the walls.

It is a convertible crib, which (for those of you who do not have babies or babies on the way) means that it can convert to a toddler bed and then a full-size (or maybe queen?) bed. So the saleslady (who was SUPER ANNOYING AND HAS BEEN A BIG PAIN, BY THE WAY) tried to use that as a selling point. She kept saying, "He can sleep in this bed until he goes to college!" to help justify the expense. But I have to agree with Linda on this one...he might not want to be 18 and sleeping in the same bed he was sleeping in when he was a newborn!! Plus, it's not like it will always be in style...I constantly ask Charles, "Who thought it was a good idea to build this house with funky desks and shelves and china cabinets built into each room in this house - didn't they realize that it wouldn't always be 1987 and maybe this odd-color stain wouldn't be in style anymore in 20 years and that it would be impossible to find anything to match it? Or maybe that the style of the desk would be outdated and the person that lived in this house would be stuck with it forever unless they could afford to hire a professional to come and remove it because it is BUILT INTO THE WALLS!?!?!"

But anyway, the crib is up and it looks so good...I can't wait to get pictures on here! And here is a Twinkie picture (blurry if you look at a large version but this was taken right when we got the new lense and Charles hadn't figured it all out yet - we'll have to get some new ones)!
