Boo's New Room

I'm happy to report that Lil Boo is now officially a big boy (well, there's still potty training, but we'll get to that)! He has been sleeping in his new room and big boy bed for 3 nights now, including naps, and is doing wonderfully! B-man had a brilliant idea when it came to buying this bed. It's from a collection that you can add on as your family grows. So, you can buy another bed and make them into bunk beds later. So, B-man thought it would be a good idea to get the rails on the bed as if it were the top bunk...this way Boo couldn't roll out. Well, I really think this has been key when it comes to Boo staying in the bed. He can easily climb in and out, but I think it provides him security at night and he's content to stay there and that makes us happy!


The curtains are carried over from his nursery.



We went with a tractor theme for this room since he loves tractors.
I got these pics above his bed from a tractor calendar and placed them in frames from Hobby Lobby.

Reading corner.
This is where we read books at bedtime.
See that snazzy tractor painting above the chair?
Well, I painted it!
I had an old canvas picture that used to hang in our Colorado house and I've never hung it since.
So I made it into a clean slate, drew a tractor on it and painted it.
It turned out great, I think...ya know, for kids art. :)


Bookshelk complete with collage photo from our Hawaii
trip that cousin E, F and Uncle A sent Boo for his bday.
He loves to stare at the photos.


Chest of drawers with tractor light on top.


This was the canvas before I painted it...


And this is after!
It's red, just like PawPaw's.




And just in case you needed further proof that he's a big boy, just check this out!
This is from our recent trip to J&R gymnastics.
I couldn't believe he held on!
He usually falls right into the pit.

Love the new room. now we need to see Lil Bit's room. Are you waiting to decorate? Are you going to use the same stuff or get new stuff?

So cute! Great job with the new room! You all are always so good at making everything really a complete, nice job. Meanwhile over in Gasperini-ville the new baby's room is still very much in the early stages! Oh well--I aim to be more like the Fayes!

What an awesome big boy room! I'm impressed with your artwork, it's a perfect addition to Boo's room. Glad to hear that he's doing so well in his big boy bed- love the B-man's idea for the furniture! Cute quilt as well.
