Headboards and Physicals and More

Yeah, it’s been one of those days. It is about 85 degrees in my house and the kids had doctors appointments today. No worries though, it was just school physical time. Madison weighed in at 60.6 pounds and she is 49 1/2 inches tall. (We are going to Great America in a couple of weeks, so I am going to have to check out what rides this will allow her to ride. My mom is a little worried, because Madison only has about 11 more inches to grow to be taller than her!). This year they gave us her BMI reading which is 84%. Healthy weight is 5%-85%, so she just made it under the wire. However, if you’ve ever seen Madison, you’d know how thin she is, so I’m just like whatever with the BMI thing. Will is 40.4 pounds and 42 inches tall. His BMI was 52%. Needless to say, we aren’t worry about the BMI. Unfortunately, Will ended up with 2 shots. It was that or he’d have to get 5 come kindergarten. I choose 2 today and next year he’ll get the other 3. Poor kid.
And that leads us to the headboards part of the title of this post. Bill and I have been talking about when we move Will out of his toddler bed. The first thing you have to take into account is that his room is only 9′ x 11′. He has no closet. I would also like him to be able to play in his room. Of course, that does not give us a whole ton of options. Right now, the toddler bed works. However, if he keeps growing like a weed, it won’t! I am thinking that headboards for full size beds or even king headboards, just aren’t going to work in his room. The kicker is that with his crib, we actually have the full size headboard. Honestly, I am thinking we will just have to check out moreheadboards.com and find a twin size headboard and then get him a new mattress.
How long to you wait to move your kids out of their toddler beds? What size bed did you move them to? What size bed would you think I should get for him considering how small that room is?

Say the Time
Am I the only person who gets lost when online? I start to do something, get distracted, and all of a sudden it is several hours later and I have not yet done what I originally set out to do. I find myself doing this more and more. What is really bad is that I sometimes go into this zone while Madison is at preschool. I have to leave by a certain time to pick her up on time. I have never completely forgotten her (yet), but I have cut it close to picking her up late (plus, the days that I am running late I seem to always get stuck by a train too!). I found this place that I can get an alarm clock software download. This may be the product that I need. I am able to set up alarms, reminders, and virtual sticky notes, so I won’t be late picking Madison up and I won’t forget what I am trying to do. There is even a free 30 day trial to see if this product is what you need! I also love that you can use this as a calender also. My weekly schedule is seriously jam packed between Madison’s school schedule and doctor’s appointments. I currently just use my head to keep it all straight, but now that I am 3o, my memory is not what it use to be.
