Say bye bye to the crib...

This morning we left the house 40 mins after everyone woke up, we went to McDonald to have breakfast. This is the first time we did this since Yoshi was born (without planning ahead, just a spontaneous reaction). Yoshi had a plate of pancake (with blueberry jam instead of syrup) + scramble egg. He seemed to enjoy a lot. Because we were out early, there were plenty of time left for the rest of the day...

One of Nori's biggest accomplishment today was to assemble Yoshi's new bed. We had been shopping for Yoshi's bed for a while. We finally decided to purchase a bed from IKEA instead of a more expensive bed that might last till college life. I just didn't feel that Yoshi is ready for a real bed, and we thought buying this much lower positioning bed, even if he fell, still won't cause much pain. And maybe 2-3 years later, we will know what's better for him by then (and pass to little sister).

We never have any safety gate inside the house, we always make sure to follow him up and down the stairs. And Yoshi never really go near the stairs by himself. However, with the new bed, we worry that he might get out of bed and come to our room in the middle of the night, so a gate is necessary for upstairs. And to Yoshi who has never seen this gate before, he of course became "curious george"...

Even though the bed sits very low from the floor, we went ahead to put up a bed rail to make sure he won't fall (doesn't mean he can't get out)

Well, it has been an hour since Yoshi went to sleep. So far, he has not left the bed since saying good night and he's sound asleep.......hm....wonder how tonight/ tomorrow morning will be. Luckily tomorrow is Labor day holiday, so at least I'm not home alone dealing with this new adventure. we might not need alarm clock anymore, wonder if he will be standing next to our bed when we wake up tomorrow....?!

Like father like son, loves tool......Yoshi loves to be the little engineering assistant.
