It’s coming up on the big moving day. Yesterday when we took a load of things over to the new house we took Charles along (Corwin was over playing at Jacob’s house). Charles is still in a crib but he’ll be switching over to a bed when we move (we decided it wasn’t worth the hassle of switching before hand). Mom has Charles’ new bed all made up in the bottom of the new bunk bed and Charles and I went up to see it while Mom unpacked kitchen supplies.
Charles seemed very excited by the bed, especially I after I told him that it was his bed. He got up on it himself and then made me sit near by while he hurled the stuffed animals that Mom had artfully arranged on the bed at me. Charles would hold up the animal, I would name it and then Charles would fling it. He found it all very entertaining.
After a bit, Charles wanted up in the top bunk. I put him up there and he started walking around making Dad very nervous. Charles then walked over to the side where the ladder comes up and jumped off. Dad, having seen Charles affinity for jumping wasn’t surprised by this and caught Charles, who thought it was very cool. The next few weeks should be an interesting time.
