parenting confession:

when the kidbot came of toddler age - we converted his crib into a toddler bed which he promptly refused to sleep in.  so… rather than argue with an insistant two-year-old night after night, we let him do what seemed a reasonable compromise: sleep on a papasan cushion in the middle of his floor.

we gifted the crib to a friends months ago, and truthfully, i hadn’t thought much about it until the other day.  i looked into the kidbot’s room and realized what a ghetto solution we had goin’ on.  it seems it is time to upgrade.

so - today we went and picked up a new mattress.  then, wandering through freddie’s he immediately reached for a sheet set exclaiming “waaaaaaall-eeeeeee!”  and although i had sworn that i’d never be one of THOSE parents and buy the disney-character-themed set of anything - i caved.

they were on sale.  they were cute.  they were acceptably geeky. 
(wall-e is a robot after all).

so - as of tonight, the kidbot will be curling up in his very first big boy bed.  wish us luck.
