Lilia’s crib was just recalled, so we had to return it to Target to get a store credit. I broke it down into small parts, but it still wouldn’t fit in our hatchback trunk. As I looked for a phone number to call and ask if we could just toss it and still get the credit, Joe used all the rope he has accumulated over the years and tied it to our previously unused roof rack– I knew there was a reason we had one of those! We carefully drove over to the Target on City Line and put all the pieces in a cart and brought them in to the return desk, where Lilia proclaimed to the clerks, “My crib is broken”! One time I returned a pair of shoes to this Target on a weekday morning, and a line of people had formed behind me as the clerk struggled through the transaction, so I was a little nervous about doing this on a busy Saturday afternoon, but the two clerks who helped us were super friendly, and we had no trouble at all.
We wanted to pick up a Target Weekly Circular, because Lilia’s second cousin Lillian is featured in the toy section (warning– you might die of the cuteness if you click there!) but because it was the last day of the sale, they were all out. :( (We’ll get to meet Lillian for the first time at Thanksgiving!!)
Now, we need to find a new bed for Lilia. Where is she sleeping now?
Well, I have a confession to make…
Lilia still co-sleeps. It’s just easier, I’ll leave it at that.
But, we have a nice crib mattress, and she did sometimes sleep in her crib (it was a convertible– we had taken one side off last year). I think this Ikea toddler bed is really cute, but it is a foot longer than the crib mattress, so we’d have to invest in one of Ikea’s mattresses. Plus, our house is so small, I don’t think we have the room to get a bigger bed. Plus, she is short… she’ll fit in the crib mattress for quite a long time. I guess we have some research to do.

Hey Laura! Thanks for the lovely anniversary wishes. Sorry to hear about Lil’s recalled crib.. BUT if you would like to borrow ours, we have one still boxed up in the attic. I cannot attest to its recall status(!) but if you need it, just let me know. Medium brown wood, traditional, standard stuff. Used just once (on vacation in Virginia). We also have a blue plastic racing car toddler bed which takes a crib-sized mattress. I bet Lil would loooove that one! Hahaha. You’re welcome to borrow either.

Put the crib mattress on the floor…She may sleep better that way if you try to have her sleep on her own. Just a thought. But I guess those mattresses are pretty thin, so that may not work.

I worry about creepy crawlies in the dark of night with the crib on the floor. Her mattress is nice and thick, but I’d rather have it off the ground a little.
We’ll figure something out… I have to do something about a bedtime routine, but I feel like I don’t want to attempt any changes till I’m done with school!
