@ghandigirl, my heartfelt sympathies. Your mother's memory will be a blessing. Best wishes for both you and your daughter.
@lovendures, @pat-czap, thank you for the warm thoughts. I'm almost done with the cleaning, patching, painting, reorganizing, etc. The new crib arrived today, and I'll wait till my son gets home on Sunday and let him put it together. I'm capable, but he wants to do it.
For those who could use a chuckle: I had purchased a toddler corral instead of a play pen. Felix likes to be free to explore, and I have no problem with that. It helps to get one's steps in for the day. Sometimes, tho you need to contain him and a corral is more portable than today's "play pens". Felix is huge for his age. He may only be 17 months old, but he's 3 feet tall, and 35 pounds already. He's wearing 3 toddlers. When my son saw the box, he grinned, asked me if the corral attaches to the floor, or did I just by his son a human gerbal ball?
