One of the reasons for buying a larger house was to have a dedicated guest room, for me to use right now, but also for K's mom and others who visit in days and years to come. This house has five bedrooms, so e gets one as do K and E, there's one for a future child (if that happens), and one for an office, all upstairs. The "Grandma Suite" is downstairs, with a full bath right next to it, the thought being that as our knees age we grandparents won't have to climb stairs when we visit. Tuesday we shopped for a queen mattress set and bought one; it was delivered yesterday afternoon, so now the sofa bed is folded up and back to being a sofa instead of my bed. We plan to add night stands and a dresser to provide comfort for longer stays.
I hope to finish quilting my latest project today. I have fabric for the binding and may get that cut. This week I bought some flour sack dish towels and decorated a couple with red patchwork for the new kitchen. E has red Cuisinart cookware and small appliances, so the red trim on the towels looks nice.
In an attempt to get e on the schedule used at her future day care I am skipping a morning nap and putting her to bed after lunch, letting her calm herself to sleep. At this point that involves tears and protest, but she settles in a few minutes. Today she was very drowsy by the end of her yogurt, so I wiped her face and carried her upstairs. I hadn't thought to change her diaper before lunch, and doing so woke her a bit. Oops! Forgot her plush bear and had to go back down to retrieve it. Tomorrow I hope I am better prepared; I don't like to hear her cry. Her injured finger is red but does not look infected.
Today is cooler. We have windows open to the fresh air.
