Hello all,
During my winter basement renovations (well, now spring and soon summer...), having a new kid, life etc, I have forgone my camper renovations and upgrades to accommodate our little girl. Canada's May long weekend is coming up and I haven't done a thing to arrange for her to sleep in the camper. She'll be 14 months and just in the learning stages of standing and stumbling around like daddy does after a few too many pints. So she likes to sometimes stand up in her crib, so i'm a little concerned about where she will sleep. Other than cutting a few air holes in a cardboard box and setting it on the bench, I have no ideas. Obviously I won't do that. We were thinking of trying to set up her pack and play inside the camper but that thing is so huge.
I'm thinking I need a rail which can somehow attach to the bench which needs to be rather sturdy and about 2' high. Maybe we can just stuff her into a ton of winter clothes that she can't stand up? Thoughts? What do you guys do with your new to walking children or grandchildren?
Ideally, when I finally get time, I alter the bench and make it the same height as the wooden section which extends over the box rails. We really don't use the bench much and would much rather sit outside. This would allow me to have a much larger bed.
Setting up the bed as normal may work for this weekend, but its sure not ideal with the 4.783cm of leg room to manoeuvre around on the floor. Maybe just stack some clothes bags against the cabinets and let the kid wander around without issues of falling or getting stuck in between the cabinets and the edge of the bed.
PS - sleeping with her is awful. She's like a little mini cute pig. She snorts, grunts, farts, tosses and turns, flails arms. Well, that could also be me but I like to blame the kid.
