Sunny 9 for 2007 July 27

Yes, that statement deserved all those exclamation points! We finally put Gunnar is his own room!! Just writing that makes me smile. During the day I will open my door and check around my room just to see how wonderful it looks without a crib or a sleeping baby in the crib there. Just like when I mowed the lawn I kept looking out the window to see how nicely it looked. Or when I make something crafty, I will look at it and think, "my that is dang cute". Does anyone else do this? Just me? I figured I was the only one wacky enough, but I like to appreciate the end results. And this end result? SLEEP. And a cleaner room. And Aaron and I talking before bed. And not having to be quite as I wash my face before bed. And scripture study on the bed. And some other stuff involving a bed. Just kidding, we don't do that.

The first thing I did when we put Gunnar in his room: laundry. I folded clothes on my bed. By myself, as loud as I wanted. It is so wonderful having your own room. You just don't realize it until you go without for awhile. You are probably thinking it's my fault for having him in my room for so long anyway and I'm weird for doing it, and you would be right. I basically did it because he was still waking up at night and I didn't want to walk across the house as opposed to two steps to get him. Plus we have had people in town from Julie's wedding and other family events that it was always, "Oh after this event we will put him in there". So finally we have and it has made life better. Now we just need to move the computer from his room to our room. We just have to set up the new desk we got at IKEA. Hopefully it won't take us another 8 months!
