Thank you Sweden

Dad and Grandad built my cot today.

Twice.

They learned a couple of things. The Swedes make good stuff, and their doorways are obviously wider than ours.

After unpacking and laying out all the parts in the loungeroom, they put it together. It was quite easy, as you would expect, grandad has build aeroplanes and boats, so a baby cot was never going to be too much of a challenge. His assistant has flown in aeroplanes and sailed in boats, so they were always going to be fine. Until it came time to get the cot into my bedroom. They soon discovered the little issue of the little doorway. So, the cot was disassembled and reassembled in as much time as it takes to say 'gee the doorway looks a lot narrower with a big fat Swedish cot next to it'.

Needless to say, if you've got some Swedish furniture to put together, call on dad and grandad, they've had twice as much experience as they should have.
