PTW, part 6: a new bed for Owen!

It's Monday night, and PTW is winding down. Today's score: 5-1! Potty decisively winning! We are very proud of Owen, and Owen is happy with all of his new bribes- I mean toys. I still haven't finished blogging January, so I better keep moving!

These pictures are of Owen's new bed, chair and bedside table. Mom and Dad drove these out when they came at Thanksgiving, plus a dresser. These are Dad's from when he was a boy, and I used them until middle school. Dad had them stripped in Virginia, then in January he restored them- I don't know all the details, but it involved a trip to rural Oregon, clamps, magic glue from a hobby shop, lots of sanding and lots of polyurethane. They turned out beautiful, and the color matches the other furniture in Owen's room.

We all were a bit hesitant for Owen's first night in his room. Owen does not have a good track record with change, nor with sleeping through the night. Richard and I joke that it would be nice to have an Owen Change Rule book. It would go something like this: new shirts, new coats, new hats, new sweaters, new shoes: NOT OK; new pants, new socks, new toys: OK. Turns out, Owen loved his new bed from the first night we put it together. He's been great in it ever since.

Thank you, Dad!
