In a rather spontaneous purchase yesterday, we bought a new bed for Cole. Of course it had to be a bunk bed (like Franny’s) but it also has a trundle, which makes it special for him. Today, however, was the big day! He picked out his bedding this afternoon and Grandma and Grandpa came over to help set it up. Being the monkey that he is, he does have to wait awhile for his top bunk, but that didn’t seem to bother him—he has his big boy bed and that is exciting enough! Right now, it is over an hour past bedtime and he is still awake; I am so happy that he is so excited about it all. Frequently, Cole internalizes a lot, so we don’t always get a clear perspective of how he feels about things. When he didn’t say anything when we didn’t set it up last night, it almost seemed that he didn’t understand that we had even bought it for him. But this morning, he knew that it was in the garage and that it was his. It was obvious he was very pleased. Our family has undergone enormous changes this year, and Franny has had a lot of big things happen for her, as well. Through it all, Cole has adjusted tremendously. He’s such a special little boy—it was wonderful that he finally had a moment of his own!
