We've been busy this morning. I have been waiting with great anticipation for Paul to bring the new cot he has made in from the workshop. It is all sanded down and the final coat of varnish has dried so it is ready for Amelia to go into this weekend, it's gorgeous.

We played a game with Harry to get his new bed (OMG I can't believe he's big enough to be in a proper bed, time flies!) into his bedroom and his old cot (which Paul also made) out and into the twins bedroom. He was SO excited and is really impressed with his 'big boy bed' with Thomas the Tank Engine bedding! We're not putting the twins in their cots tonight as we don't want Harry to get upset about someone else being in his old bed. Having said that the way things are going I don't think he will be too bothered as we have made it all fun for him. Just waiting on Harry's new headboard to be finished.

I've worked my way through more of the baby clothes that don't fit and washed and packed them all up to go to the charity shop. Most of the clothes are as a good as new. I couldn't help myself putting a couple of things away for memory boxes.

It's all been quite emotional. Our little fella growing up and going into a proper bed and the twins moving into their own rooms out of their moses baskets and into cots. Then packing up clothes to be passed on to the charity shop so someone else can get some use out of them. They grow up so fast but we still smile and know we are blessed.
