Making an effort
So I tried to post the literature meme the other day, got interupted (as usual) and for some reason LJ didn't save the draft for me :( Maybe I'll try again some other time.
The latest news here is that we are refurnishing Michelle's room for her birthday (since she climbed out of her crib a month ago, the furnishings have only consisted of her (new) bed - we had to remove all of the things she could climb up on (and fall off of) while not going to sleep.) She'll be getting a wicker chest with cushions on top so she can sit on it (sturdy enough to stand on), but even more fun to hide inside), a table for her keyboard (which will be bolted to the table), plastic crates for her toys, and a rug with roads and castles and things printed on it (to play on), and awall lap that will go next to her bed so she can read at night (bad habits must be started early!). Will try to find a bean bag for her to sit on as well, but they were all out at the store today. I did get a child's size table and two chairs for her to use in the kitchen, though.
Tomorrow I am making a quick visit to Gothenburg to pick up a 5-month old Flatcoated Retriever puppy. I have known of him for some time, but had given up on being able o go get him, as I can't drive back and forth on my own and bringing the whole family is too much hassel. Luckily, my BIL and his girlfriend mentioned wanting to go the Liseberg amusement park up there, so now I have a back-up driver for when I get too tired to drive and/or June starts fussing in the car.
Speaking of fussy babies...
