Today we worked some more on my bed. We painted everything with white paint. Mom calls it Kilz. That is a strange name for paint. She says it means that it kills stains so they don't show through the paint we put on. Here are some pictures mom took of Tim and I while we worked.

The first one is of me up on the platform of my new bed. We painted it, let it dry, sanded it, and painted it again to make sure I couldn't get any splinters from it. It made my room smell funny.

Here is a picture of Timothy and I painting the wood that will go on the front of my bed. Do you see the ladder in behind us? We pained it next. Dad is going to use parts of it as the ladder for me to get in and out of my loft bed. I am not scared at all of going up and down it. Mom says she is glad I am not scared, but almost wishes I was a little bit scared so I would be very careful. I will be careful and not scared at the same time.

Next, Dad finishes up by attaching my ladder, rails, and front part. He might not be able to finish until Saturday. It is hard to wait that long! I will be so glad when I get to sleep in it for the first night.
