package and a "new" bed

The first day after x-mas we got a package from MistyThe humor was that it contained a baby handprint kit, and I had already decided to take pup's hand and footprints (with paint) that night. I only got his feet, 'cos he wasn't cooperating... But I'll get the hands another day. There was also a "brag book" and a Disney-kit with a frame, a box for first tooth and a box for first curl.

We've had to upgrade pup's sleeping quarters, since he kept doing these awful noises (in his sleep) but only in his bed, never in ours or anywhere else you laid him down.

Just to remind you what the old bed looked like, notice how Mr. Longears fill it out?
We went to Emmaus Möbelretur (a furniture second hand shop) last Monday, just to see when they'd be open (they've been closed Mondays before, and with the holidays and all) but they were open so we checked it out. Lucky we did! We found this:


It's a Baby Dan Classic and was tucked in behind a three-section bookshelf. After taking it out we realized one side was missing, and when asking the salesman he said that since it wasn't complete we'd get it for 5 €. Since we had no intention of using it with all 4 walls we happily accepted. Picture shows how we intended to use the bed, our only need was that the frame would be so made that you could lower or heighten the bottom, or at least that you could fix it to do so yourself. Now this made a perfect match, so we were really happy!

Do you notice Mr. Longears in the background? Closest to D... He's a little crumbled but you get the general idea of how much bigger this bed is =)

I will however go back and see if they find the last side of the crib, I think it's there since all screws were in the bed. I think it's just been misplaced. It could be good to have once pup starts rolling.

  2. Vilken tur ni hade med sängen! 5 euro (var tusan är den knappen på tangentbordet?) är ju ingenting!! :-D Söta presenter också! Funderade på att ta Vemunds fotavtryck, med färg, men det blir ju aldrig av. Har dessutom ett sånt där set med lera. Hur lat får man vara? God fortsättning, gott slut och gott nytt år!! :-) Kram!

  3. We messed up the instructions on the handprint kit... *LOL* we translated the measured amount of water wrong, so it was solid before we could even get it to his hand *eye roll* We'll buy new plaster and try again though
