Small Graces

After giving Katherine’s winter hat up for lost we discovered it neatly draped over a fence post in the parks this morning.  Someone had apparently reclaimed it from wherever Katherine had thrown it on a recent walk with Sydney, and it was waiting for us several days later.

We’ve been wondering what to do about beds for both baby and Katherine, since we hesitate to take Katherine’s cot away from her just as we’re changing lots of other things in her life.  And, to be quite honest, it’s still quite handy being able to put her in a bed from which she cannot remove herself, since she will never sleep if she can be up and about instead.  But this morning I got an email through a newcomers’ list I’m on: a biology prof’s toddler has just outgrown her crib, and the professor is wondering whether anyone could use a crib, mattress, sheets, and changing pad.  Oh, that would be us!  So next week we’ll be fully outfitted for our new addition–and everyone but the adults will be safely behind bars 🙂
