Question of the Day

It's about time to introduce Parker to the big bed. I don't expect him to start sleeping in it yet, but he needs to get used to having it in his room.

There used to be bunk beds in my parents house. Several months ago these were moved to our basement since we weren't quite sure what to do about future sleeping arrangements. I'd prefer to use my first bed, but that's stored away in my parent's attic, we don't know quite where.

At the moment we plan to use just one of the bunk beds, leaving the other where it is until needed. My question is, what do I need to do to the old mattress before moving it back into the house? Unfortunately now is not the right time for us to invest in a new one.

I would probably spray it down with Lysol and lay it out in the sun on one of these hot days. I would also invest in one of those zippered mattress pad covers.

I started David with a mattress on the floor. That way he only "fell" 6 inches when he wriggled off. Your main issue is one of mildew.

Is "Padre" my padre? I'm a little surprised.

No, no, sweetie, not "tu padre." Who else do you know who has a son formerly known as David?

Ahhh!! The "formerly known as" helps me a lot. I see now.
