accidentally on purpose
Posted by kyden on Wednesday Mar 10, 2010 Under Uncategorized
i guess there were too many monkeys jumping on my bed… cuz it broke! yup, one of the plastic clips that supports the platform of the co-sleeper snapped off the other night. don’t worry, i’m okay — i wasn’t even in it. actually, it was mommy who broke the bed. she told daddy that it was an accident, but actually, it was all part of of our plan. see, now that we don’t have the co-sleeper, i hafta sleep with mommy and daddy, right? right!
well, the first thing that daddy did the next morning was call around to local shops to see if they have replacement parts that he could buy. they don’t. too bad for daddy. yay for me. but daddy is very resourceful. he found the manufacturer’s website and discovered that he can order parts from there 
i don’t think he’s ordered them yet. maybe he’ll forget.
mommy and daddy discussed the interim options. 1) i can sleep in the bed with them. 2) i can sleep in my crib in my own room. mommy said that if i sleep in my own room, then daddy has to be the one to get up in the middle of the night to check on me and carry me to and from their bed when it’s time for me to eat. well, that was the end of that conversation 
needless to say, i slept with mommy and daddy last night, and i’ll be there for at least a few more days. yay!
so for now, at least, everyone gets to sleep where we want to — even koda! yup, koda has been sleeping in my room lately. when we all go upstairs, koda pretends to fall asleep in his bed at the foot of the stairs. but after lights out, i hear him dash up the stairs. he usually manages to sneak back downstairs, undetected, early in the morning. but sometimes i wake up for a 4:30am diaper change, so mommy and i go into my room and turn on the light, and there’s koda, looking all guilty. mommy points at him and laughs and says “koda, you’re busted!”
so, life is good in the tanaka household right now. i hope daddy forgets to order the replacement parts for the co-sleeper. but if he does remember, i think they’re going to get lost in the mail. yeaaah… that package is definitely going to get lost in the mail.

I LOVE that you blog, Kyden! Some days (like today), reading your posts are the only bright spots in my workday. You’re always good for a smile and an “aww.” =)

Kyden – does your daddy want to borrow my co-sleeper? I don’t need it right now. You just have to give it back when I get here or my dad’s going to freak out. Let me know.

Ky, you are getting so big that I think you are going to need that whole bed to yourself soon! it also sounds like Koda needs a doggy bed for your room so when you get a little older and sleep there, you can have a slumber party with him!

@gung-gung: it wasn’t me! blame mommy!
i love reading your blog, too. actually, mommy and daddy read it to me.
and yes, i am going to get a bed for koda so he can sleep upstairs with me. but don’t tell daddy. i don’t think he’ll like it.
@auntie cindy: yay, thanks for reading! mommy says that grown ups don’t read baby blogs because it’s not interesting to hear about diapers and mushed peas (unless you’re a grandparent). but you proved her wrong
p.s. i hope your work days get better
@musubi: thanks for the offer, but no thanks. all is going according to plan
@auntie barbara: you’re right, i AM big. we shoulda told daddy that i broke the bed cuz i am so heavy. that would have been believable
