The sense of achievement of finally getting Anna into her own room has given me the impetus to finally write the first post of this blog too! We've been talking about this for months but hadn't gotten to actually clearing out Lyne's old office and moving Anna in, out of the room she was sharing with Victor. This shot is taken a couple of hours after bedtime; she's well asleep.
Of course, most of the achievement was Lyne's, as she was the one who did most of the work this afternoon while I was busy, disassembling her desk to bring it downstairs and then reassembling it there, and disassembling the kid's beds to reconfigure them into a bunk bed (the bed in this room becoming Victor's).
Of course we ended up running really late, way past bedtime. This is always dangerous as the kids tend to meltdown, and tonight was no exception. Lyne had picked up a few accessories in the morning at Ikea, a car rug for Victor and a heart rug for Anna. Victor wanted a heart rug too, not the car rug! In the end it was established that nobody was getting the heart rug tonight.
Why “Wafflebear”? Well, this here is Wafflebear. It has seemed to us that he must have gotten into an accident with a waffle iron, hence his name. He's been keeping us company for some time, I believe it may be since before Victor was born. With all he's been through, how could we say no?
