With potty training going okay (I don't expect miracles from the boy!), and with Noah's arrival only a few short months away, I've been thinking about what to do about Ish's big boy room. I don't want to hit him with a bunch of change at once (we all know this boy is a craves routine), but I do want to make small changes over the next few months.
One change is moving him from his crib (which we will use for Noah) into his big boy bed. We already have the bed - a Cars toddler bed we scored at a tag sale in almost new condition. It's sitting in our office, waiting to be used. Ish knows it's there - he's seen it. He seems excited about it. Of course we'll have to do a lot of nailing-furniture-to-the-walls work before we implement the move.
I bought Toy Story wall decals on sale at Target a few weeks ago to replace the "babyish" Pooh decals on his walls now. I haven't shown them to him yet because I know he'll lose his mind! I'm hoping these will help him with his transition to his bed.
We'll keep the nursery furniture he has in his room for the time being because eventually I want to move Ish and Noah into the same room and would love to make a big deal to both of them about picking out furniture for their shared room. One thing I picked out already (and hope that it's still around in a few years - you hear that Bob's Discount Furniture!!!!) is this awesome bunk bed. The stairs even have storage space and you know I'm all about storage space!
I'm scared of change too - so , I think the next few months will be tough for me and Ish. Thank goodness Matt handles change well! I'll keep you posted!

That brown bar is actually the top of our deck off our kitchen. There's about 3 feet of snow out there. There's no where for it to go. And more is coming this week. Fun times here in NY.
Ish refers to it as his "special paintings" and takes his art very seriously.
He pretty much soaks the papers - dipping his brush after every stroke.
And he's so proud of every masterpiece he creates.
And masterpieces they are.
