Ok. Scratch the plans for earlier. I decided it was time to lower the mattress in the crib since my Wee One is now pulling himself to standing! Sounds easy enough but it entailed pulling the crib apart, moving it away from the wall, moving other stuff so I could angle the crib and THEN undo the wonky lift/screw system to lower the mattress. It's raised and lowered by a very VERY stiff lever arm. Whew. Oh yeah..had to take the baby bumper off to which I had tied on VERY securely. What a pain in the tush! Meanwhile, Jeremiah played nearby on a blanket with blocks and a musical ABC toy. While I was working on the front of the crib, he spied the screws on the floor for the backside of the crib (had to take out all 4 before lowering) and that little bugger crawled halfway across the room to get his hands on a wingnut!! He only just started moving forward 4 days ago but you should see him GO!!! Of course I was right there and got to the stuff before he did....but shoot, he can MOVE!! LOL
   In the end, I was successful in lowering the mattress, Jeremiah happily played an extra hour and a half longer this morning and now I'm taking a break!!! Perhaps that bathroom floor can wait until tomorrow or maybe this afternoon if I catch a second wind. Whew.
