Have Allen Wrench, Will Travel

In light of Bridget’s newest milestone as of yesterday, her crib mattress needed to be lowered so that there would be no climbing out.  Since Jake is out of town, I called my next best handyman - my brother. But he couldn’t get here until tomorrow and I was just worrying that this one night would be the one that Bridget chose to pull herself over and out. I was halfway prepared to blow up the air mattress and sleep on the floor next to her bed.

But then I talked to Jake and then gave it some thought. I felt like I should be able to do this myself. After all, what kind of example can I be to Bridget if I have to run to a man to do simple little tasks for me? So found the Allen wrenches and set Bridget on the floor to play while I set about my task.

And I did it! It was easy. I was so proud of myself. Next thing I want to conquer? Hooking up the DVD player and hanging pictures. But let’s not get crazy.

Oh, and just so you know, the minute I set Bridget in her newly lowered crib, she pulled herself  up on the side of the crib.
