I usually get excited when the Christmas music starts playing on the radio, but I have to confess that I have been changing the station every time it comes on. I am not trying to be a grinch, but it has been making me extremely anxious. The music reminds me that I have not done anything to prepare for David's birthday, Caleb's birthday, Christmas, or the arrival of a new baby. I still have a month for most of those events, but I'm getting nervous. I have to tell myself the following: A newborn won't know the difference if her clothes are still in boxes and bags and if there isn't any bedding on her crib. A 2 year old will be happy no matter what presents he gets and he doesn't even know which day is his real birthday anyway. Everything is fine, but December is going to be an expensive month.
I should acknowledge that we did, however get something done that I did not expect to happen before I was due. I finished a car quilt for Caleb a couple months ago and he has been sleeping in a twin bed for over a month and has not climbed out or had a problem once! So we did free up the crib and changing table and were able to move them out of his room. He really likes his 'big boy' room because of the two new additions-his car bed and his new table. He LOVES his table-he would play at it all day. He colors, plays cars, reads, does puzzles, and everything else while sitting at it.
