Brandon and I decided that we weren't ready to take Preston out of his crib and put him a toddler bed yet. The thought of him being able to get out of bed on his own whenever he wanted to was a little unnerving!! With that being said it also means we had to get a new crib for our newest child. After careful searching, we decided on one. We had to have it shipped to our house, since it was only available online. It arrived a week or so later and boy was I excited to put it together. That evening after dinner, Brandon and I set to work putting it together. Of course we had to make it a family affair!! I think the kids were more of a hindrance than a help but they were just as excited and wanted to be part of it too. Thankfully it didn't last forever and they moved on to other things, with a little encouragement from me. ;)
Preston really enjoyed trying to "help." He would try and pick up everything, tools, screws, etc.
It really frustrated Brandon, but eventually with a little guidance I was able to get him to be a little more helpful. We would have him put the screws into the holes as you can see here.
Lillian would help by holding sections of the crib for us.
The kids really enjoyed posing for the camera but it was really difficult to get them to both look at me.
I think Preston actually did a better job smiling for me than Lillian. She kept looking sideways to see if he was looking at me. Frustrated me, because I must of taken the same picture another 3 or 4 times trying to get her look at the camera. These were the best ones.
Daddy with the kids and our finished crib, which could of taken half the time without our little "helpers" but it wouldn't have been as memorable! Thanks kids for your help and Brandon for your patience!!
We are officially ready for BABY to come!!
