Growing Up with Self Storage
-
Beth could not believe that her child had grown up so fast. It seemed that just yesterday she was taking her baby from the hospital and bringing her home. Now those days of having a newborn in the house were over. Her baby was turning four and was getting her very own big girl bed for his birthday. She could not believe that time had gone so fast.
The nursery was being taken apart and everything that her daughter had outgrown was coming out and being replaced with a big girls toddlers room. Even though the changing table had long since been turned into a book shelf and a stuffed animal house it was still sad for Beth to see it go. The crib had been converted into a day bed a while ago and even though it no longer served as a crib it was still just another reminder that her little girl was growing up.
When her and her husband had first began to speak about what they wanted to do for their daughter for her birthday they were unsure of how they were going to convert the nursery into a toddlers room. Where would all of the baby stuff go? They had already been working on getting pregnant again so they really hated to get rid of the baby furniture when they were going to need it again hopefully soon. The furniture was all still in good condition and the wood colors of the furniture were gender neutral so they would work for boys or girls. The pink nursery decorations would still be usable for a girl and even if they had a boy Beth did not want to just get rid of them.
Her husband came up with the idea of looking into an unit. This way they could keep all of the baby stuff from one kid to the next or whatever they needed to find extra storage for in the next coming years of adding more children into the family. As the family continues to grow they realized they were going to need more storage space.
So they researched the local units until they found the one that had just the things that they were looking for. Their self storage unit facility had a good location, a fair price, and security so they would know that everything that they had to store in their unit would be safe.
Once the Elgin storage unit was squared away they began to move out the baby furniture and the baby clothes that their daughter no longer fit into and had been stored in the garage in old diaper boxes. The baby stuff would wait in storage until they had their next baby.
As the toddler bed and matching dresser were moved into her daughter’s room Beth was so amazed that her daughter had grown up so fast. The time for the party came and all of her family came over to help celebrate the very grown up four year olds birthday. Her daughter had a lot of presents to open that day, but she said that she loved her big girl bed most of all and she promised that she would not jump on her bed and fall off and bump her head.
