A cool new bed for my baby!

Being one of the youngest of most of my cousins I was the recipient of hand-me-downs on many occasions and I really loved it! So when we had Asher we enjoyed getting a stack of hand-me-downs from his only older male cousin, Tully! This has been great, but unfortunately as they live in Victoria the hand-me-downs aren't as easy to access. This leaves Asher being the oldest boy cousin on Brad's side in QLD and on my side of the family he is the oldest of all his cousins!




So when it came to getting him a "big boy" bed we were having to buy a brand new bed, which at the time we didn't have the money for, thankfully my folks still had my old single bed under thier house which was a blessing. But we have wanted to get him his own brand new bed since then, and this weekend we were able to do that finally. After much thought and consideration we decided on a very cool bed for a very cool little man! Its from Ikea and it reversible... we have it looking like this at the moment.

And when he is older we will turn it up this way!

It has a great canopy which goes over the top too!
(Its a bit hard to take photos of it in his room but in the next few days I will attempt it.)
Last night was his first night sleeping in it and he said he didn't like it which I was pretty upset about, as I had spent at least four hours putting it together!!! But it turned out it was just sleep he didn't really like at the time. Praise God!

011 & 012: double up

As you may have noticed by now the titles aren't always linked with anything in the post here - oh well, until I can come up with witty little titles you are stuck with them.

Yesterday nothing left my house besides rubbish which technically is something out but in my books not really. But I got rid of 5 things this morning - 4 pretty, fake flowers, two you could wear in your hair, one that had a safety pin in it and another and also a small coin purse I never used. These went to a good home with some gorgeous little girls who came to visit this morning!

Yesterday and today Asher has been blessed to have lots to do. Yesterday morning we went over to his cousins and I watched him and his cousins Arabelle and Elijah. Then in the afternoon, after grocery shopping and a big sleep (on Asher's part anyway) we went outside and had a picnic and read some books, then we planted some more seeds - Asher loved watering them with his little watering can (sorry AJ couldn't wait til Christmas for one but two are always better than one anyway). As for today, as mentioned earlier we had visitors this morning (Elara, India and Katherine) and this afternoon we made some delicious little men biscuits which Asher helped me mix and eat! We are still yet to see if they get iced though.

Yesterday I was grateful for praying friends and today I am grateful for my beautiful son!
