The weekly Wednesday watch of our two-year old granddaughter occurred with her bringing her twin sisters.
So, we are still trying to figure out where everyone naps – and we are NOT changing where the eldest rests. (And I don’t mean me.) As the oldest of four, I respect the big sister’s right to have her space and not have to share – just yet. There will be plenty of time for that – pretty much the rest of her life.
Therefore, since we only have one upscale pack-n-play where you don’t have to bend to the ground and wrench your back, we instituted the time-recognized tradition of outfitting a drawer on the dining room table for a little one. (No wrenching of the back.) My daughter slept in a drawer when we traveled. My son slept in the bathtub of an RV when we camped. The common denominator – getting a baby to sleep!
It all changes soon enough and our drawer will return to its home. Our dining room table will be used again for dining. My husband’s office will one day be free of the changing table. And…I wouldn’t have it any other way. It’s good to use everything in the house to serve us, as it should.
Next up? Bathing in the sink! Another time-honored tradition.
I love bathing babies in the sink!! So efficient!!
