My daughter will be 2 next month. We have a crib that converts to a day bed, then to a full size headboard/footboard. We are ready to convert it to the daybed, and I don't know what type of bedding I need. Regular twin size sheets & comforters (and also daybed bedding sets) look to be way too big, and but the crib bedding I have doesn't have a top sheet or pillow case and the "comforter" it came with is too small to be used with a day bed. I can't be the only one who has ever ran across this problem!! What size do I buy? Or do I put the daybed in the attic for now and just go buy a toddler bed? Does the crib mattress fit a toddler bed or do I have to go buy a new mattress? And will twin size bedding fit a toddler bed - even though a toddler bed is much smaller than a traditional twin size bed?
well, the daybed just means you'll have one of the sides of the crib removed... so you'll be using crib sheets still.
Once you remove the rest of it, buy yourself a new mattress and just use the 'headboard' from the original crib for the full sized bed, THEN you can buy the sheets for the new mattress that you buy.
I've seen really cute toddler sets at Babies R Us, etc.... but I'd save the purchase of a new bedding set for when you get the twin/full mattress.
All the crib stuff should still fit it since you are really just taking off one of the sides. You can buy toddler bedding that would fit it also. To answer your other question, yes a crib mattress is what you put in a toddler bed.

The alliance of two of the world’s more significant luxury brands on Paradise Island, both of which are respected globally for their upscale luxury and exquisite service, will further assist The Bahamas in its ongoing efforts to establish itself as a global luxury destination, according to Prime Minister Dr Hubert Minnis.
Addressing the opening of the newly branded Ocean Club, A Four Seasons Resort, on Paradise Island (formerly the One and Only Ocean Club) December 1, the Prime Minister said: “Today is a new day for Ocean Club, blending its history and charm with the ultra-luxury brand that is Four Seasons. Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts, is internationally known for its rich service culture, featuring personal service and attention to detail.”
“Ocean Club was one of the first resorts of its nature in the Caribbean [region]. It has a rich history that became synonymous with the emergence of Paradise Island as a luxury destination in the region.”
“On behalf of the government of The Bahamas, I congratulate Access Industries and Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts and the Ocean Club on today’s milestone. I wish you every success and promise you the support of the government of The Bahamas,” he added.
Prime Minister Minnis said the Ocean Club has become a symbol of luxury hospitality in The Bahamas and on Paradise Island.

Finalists of the beauty pageant and warrior contest or ‘Ruran Ulung’ (winner: Angela Maria Frank) and ‘Padan Liu Burung’ (winner: Octavien Pagag) with 40 delegates vying for the prize title worth RM15,000.
LAWAS: The annual Lun Bawang Festival, or more famously known as the Irau Aco Lun Bawang, was held here on June 3-4.
Organised by the Lun Bawang Association of Sarawak, the festival gathered more than 23,000 visitors which ran at several locations in Lawas including Gaya Baru, Long Tuma, Long Sebangang Baru, Tang Itong and Taman Awam Lawas.
This year, the festival made a comeback to Lawas town after it was held outside of the town in the last two years, namely at Ba Kelalan in 2014 and Long Tuan, Trusan, in 2015.
The centre of attraction was held along the Lawas Damit Road where sporting activities like futsal, volleyball, badminton and road run were held while the opening ceremony and cultural performances were held at the main stage in Lawas town.
The highlight of the festival was the annual search for the crowning of ‘Ruran Ulung’ and ‘Padan Liu Burung’, the beauty pageant and warrior contest. This year saw 40 delegates competing for the coveted title worth more than RM15,000. Prize sponsors included Stayfree, Zalora, Kiss Me, Moist Diane, Watsons, Ran & Nong Creations and Lepo Maria.
Angela Maria Frank from Gaya Baru representing Lawas Damit came out tops in the Ruran Ulung category while Octavien Pagag from Puneng Berayong representing Kuala Lumpur won the Padan Liu Burung category. Both winners received RM1,500 cash, trophy, certificate and product hampers from all sponsors.
More than 10 subsidiary titles were given out to deserving delegates. Miss Stayfree subsidiary title was given to the Ruran Ulung candidate who portrayed confidence throughout the competition, and this was awarded to Kaith Princess Reyes Jettle of Long Pasia representing Limbang. She received RM1,000 cash from Stayfree.
Other subsidiary awards include Miss and Mister Zalora, Miss and Mister Popular, Miss and Mister Talent, Miss and Mister Tourism, Miss and Mister Photogenic.
During the festival period, the 40 delegates for Ruran Ulung and Padan Liu Burung attended a motivational workshop led by Joshua O’neill from Federation University of Australia-Malaysia. The delegates also toured the Ceramic Beads Centre in Long Tuma where the Lun Bawang beads were produced since 1991 at the centre.
The Lun Bawang, well known for its rich culture and heritage, also held the annual bamboo band competition which saw Long Tuma emerging as winner. Second place went to the Long Sukang bamboo band while third place went to Trusan Tengah.
The festival was officially launched by Assistant Minister for Welfare and Community Wellbeing Dr Abdul Rahman Ismail.
Also present were Lawas MP Dato Henry Sum Agong, Ba Kelalan assemblyman Baru Bian, Lun Bawang Association Sarawak president Ipoi Datan and other community leaders.

A lot of the songs that have been focused on in Masterpiece Mixtape up until now have been – for lack of a better way of putting it – white boy rock epics. I thought this week it might make for a nice change of pace to turn down the lights, scatter the bean bags, burn the incense, slow things down a little and make the... continue reading
I've never really been a fan of musicals. I think it's that I find the song writing in them, generally, to be too fanciful. But as much as I dislike musicals, I really, really dislike rock musicals.

Picking just one song of Jeff Buckley's to represent his body of work is a tough choice. Everyone has their favourite.

It's easy to see why, with its... continue reading
Tom Waits is an interesting figure in the landscape of popular music. Rarely do we find artists who are so highly influential and yet so anonymous.
