Erin Napier’s oldest daughter is already following in her footsteps!

“I’ve never wanted to visit a place that doesn’t exist so badly,” the mom of two concluded her caption. Erin and Ben also share daughter Mae, 3.

Her bedroom would also have a fireplace and “wallpaper with lots of flowers and animals on it,” as her two kids would have “a little room beside my room with toys.”

“UPDATE: I have shown Helen these images and she said I got it all exactly right except ‘the ramp and fishing spot on the pond would need some hand rails and a little gate to keep the kids from falling in,'” Erin concluded.

“He built it from white oak with one tiny plug of heart pine in the top rail that came from inside the wall of our house so his daughter would have a piece of home that belonged to her,” Erin wrote in an Instagram caption. “Mae slept in it for the last time last night so here, we can remember it.”

Ben wrote in his own caption that he “immediately started planning out a crib” when he found out his wife was pregnant for the first time. The sentimental piece of furniture will now “live in her room for a few more weeks” in case his daughter has trouble adjusting, although he knows “she’s ready.”

“The white oak crib will go into storage until my babies become mamas, then it will be used again,” Ben, 40, wrote. “Nothing makes you more aware of time than having children.”

Just a few months before the family crib entered retirement, Erin also reflected on the passage of time in another Instagram post, in which she commemorated Mae wearing her teal unicorn costume for the “last time.”
