The day after Thanksgiving we took Sophia's crib, changing table, and lots of other equipment to Eugene for Uncle Barry & Aunt Jess. Most of the equipment had been out of Sophia's room for a while, but the changing table we removed that morning. She was quite distressed asking "changing table? diaper?" which I think means, "if you're taking my changing table where will I get diapers from now on?" But maybe I'm reading too much into it. It is quite wonderful to clear out some of our baby equipment and clothing and to be able to help our family at the same time. Uncle Barry & Paul put the crib together in the baby's new room, supervised quite closely by Sophia.
Sophia is doing fairly well with her new bed, but has really embraced the concept of being able to get in and out of it. She comes out of her room a couple of times, spends time turning her night light off and on and plays with her menagerie of stuffed animals. Last night we heard strange noises coming from her room, but since it didn't sound like she was trying to leave the room we didn't check on her. This morning we discovered she had removed every book from one shelf of her bookcase and arranged them around her bed. We made her clean them up, which she didn't really mind as she takes almost as much joy in putting things back in as she does taking them out. It's hard to be too annoyed with a child who wants to surround herself with books. I'm sure if I think hard enough, that will remind me of someone!
