Swing Set and "Big Boy" Bed

Swing Set

For Lukas' birthday (back in April) we asked family to contribute towards a swing set. We had one all picked out, and it went out of stock never to be restocked. So we were back at square one, and had to search a little before we bought one. We finally decided and bought one in August. Putting it together took Eric and Alan (THANKS Alan!) several hours one Saturday, and Eric working on it all throughout the following week. Lukas LOVES it!!!

Eric and Alan working. The tower was most of what they got put together.


Lukas helping with his tools.


Once the tower was complete Lukas was ready to slide!


Awesome! Although Lukas was completely not thrilled when I asked him to sit still for the picture.



"Big Boy" Bed

Lukas has always been a fantastic sleeper, not cared about sleeping in a crib vs. a toddler bed, and certainly never climbed out of his bed. So it was kind of a struggle to actually make the decision to change his bed over. I mean why mess up a good thing, right? He got Elmo sheets for his birthday, and so with those washed and ready we finally decided to change him over August 23rd. Needless to say Lukas helped direct the change over. He has done marvelously with the new freedom. It is weird when he shows up in our room every now and then in the very early morning ready to play, but if it's before 6:30 he is redirected back to bed. The pictures didn't turn out great since I took them with my phone, but it's better than nothing.

Getting to use Daddy's tools to help with this project!

So happy with the new bed.


In other news Lukas has had an asthmatically good summer. June was rough, but July and August were great! School starts this week, so I'm a bit worried what that will bring. We'll pray for good health and see what happens.
