On Friday, the crib arrived in the early afternoon. Actually, to our surprise, as we have had a lot of trouble ordering this crib. This purchase was only made possible by the generous gift from the Tidball family at the Christmas Baby Shower in Washington D.C. We were very excited to receive the crib, Jason (Daddy) was so excited that he left work early to come home and set it up.
As you can see, the walls are still "baby blue." No, we are not trying to confuse our daughter. We will soon be painting them a cream color to make it more neutral and appropriate for a girl, and in case we have a boy in the future, it will be easily converted.
The unique thing about this crib is that it comes from a special collection at Target, appropriately named the "Ellis Collection." We thought that was very fitting. :) Also, this crib is convertible, meaning it will change into a "toddler bed" and eventually into a double bed with head and foot board. Very cost efficient, which is what we like!
Jason had the crib assembled in no time, but not without the help from our two "kids," Charlie and Chloe. They had fun sitting underneath the crib, watching Jason work. As we start to add to the room, there will be more photos to follow. We are so thrilled and setting up the crib made everything seem a little more real. Very exciting!
Thank you again to ALL of you who contributed to the generous Tidball family gift. We would not have been able to buy this beautiful crib without it. It will be one of those special pieces in our home with a good story and lots of meaning.
