Sophia's Bedtime (Photostory)

 This post is really about the new crib I just posted in my Etsy store, but it was a great way to squeeze in more time with Sophia.  The baby changing station is from one of Mattel's Happy Family sets.  I was thinking about using it for Kendra's nursery.  It doesn't currently match Kendra's crib, but I will see if I can make it work.  I think it's a really nice color for a little boys nursery.  I do have the missing drawer.  I just forgot to paint it.

Sylvia and the girls ran a few errands after leaving the horse ranch.  It's now late, and she is getting ready to put Sophia to bed.

"Mom can we call dad, so I can ask him about the camping trip?"  (Jessica)

"I already told you, you can ask him when he gets home.  Why don't you make yourself useful.  Come pull out the baby's tub, so I can give Sophia her bath."  (Sylvia)

"Oooh, can I put the water in, too?"  (Jessica)

"Yes.  Make sure it nice and warm."  (Sylvia)

"Okay."  (Jessica)

Jessica successfully puts the bath water in the tub. 

"So when is Dad going to be home?"  (Jessica)

"He will be home when he walks through the door.  And honey, it's time for us to retire that shirt.  It's way too small for you."  (Sylvia)

"But it's my favorite shirt."  (Jessica)

"Yes, but we can't have you walking around half naked.  You have plenty of clothes in your closet that fit.  Now go run your bath water.  You smell like the stable."  (Sylvia) 

Sylvia undresses Sophia and puts her in her tub.

"Awww, you like that don't you?"  (Sylvia)

"Have I told you how much I love you?  Yes.  Mommy loves you soooo much."  (Sylvia)

Sylvia dresses Sophia for bed and places her in the crib.  She then sings her one of her favorite lullabys.

"Nighty nite, sweetie."  (Sylvia)

Sophia lays there quietly, while Sylvia cleans up.

Again, this crib is now in the Etsy store.  

The mattress is snug enough that is can be raised to different heights. Raise it high for the newborn and lower it for the larger babies.

The bumper pad is removable.  The sheet is also removable.  I plan to make and sell separate baby bedding in the Etsy store.  So buy one crib and use it for different babies.
