Movin' On Up

There is a big boy who resides in our house. No longer a baby. He is moving on up to a big boy room and plans are underway. Here's a sneak peek.....

Enter at your own risk...

View from the doorway

Yes this is a very bright blue...I think I should've spent a little more time on the color

Trains, trains, trains...

Testing out the side rail

Curtains are up...every boy must be in darkness for naptime

Oh what fun mommy is having shopping for this big boy room..

and this is no cliche, this boy can hit a ball!

Bookshelf awaiting its occupents

Now it's just time to do a little more shopping (poor me), hang some stuff on the walls then..

move in...tentative date scheduled for next weekend...more to come.

On another note, the Paci Fairy unexpectadely visited our house 2 days ago. After buying the book, Carver jumped up and wanted to collect all paci's in the house and leave for the Fairy..in exchange for a toy of course. Mommy was not mentally prepared for this day at all..I always envisioned I would plan it a month in advance, heck I already had that month picked out. But I went with it. I was scared. Nervous. Anxious. Okay, I was an emotional wreck for my baby boy!

Night 1 was brutal. I felt I was comforting an addict in withdrawal as I rubbed his back, sang to him & denied him his paci's...the fairy had already taken them to the babies in the world after all. I think we slept about 3 hours all night long. No nap that day either.

Day 2: A little whiney, not noticeable. Looked for paci 1 time and never mentioned it again. Slept ALL night long last night - no problems. Took his 2 hour, typical nap today - no problem. Are you kidding me? For 3 years this has been a fundamental part of his existence..or so I thought?

I guess it was harder for me to let go.....

I'm so stinkin' proud of this boy. Words can't express. Amazing.

I think I want to do this, right?

Hurry, mom, I want a toy from the Paci Fairy!
