Whose a big boy?

In anticipation of our newest arrival, Matt and I shipped Spencer off to Cici and Pappy's house for the weekend to create a big boy room for him. we painted and decorated and put together a big boy bed for him. I debated for quite some time whether to get a twin bed or a toddler bed, but in the end decided on a twin bed that can last him sometime. We didn't get the box springs, so we will have to get some better support before we can really do more than gingerly sit on it, but that will come. The goal was to take his baby room apart and end up with something that can last him through several years and many interests.

So, we opted for beige walls with one big blue and one big red strip. His comforter is striped similarly, and he has car and general transportation stuff all over the walls. He came home tonight with no idea the "big boy room fairy" had come to visit. But the second he walked in, he was elated. He jumped on the bed immediately and spent much more time than normal in there. His daddy came home late and he had to show his new room off, not even finishing his leftover cinnamon rolls from this morning!

He watched his Little Einsteins show and very easily laid down in bed. It has taken him a little bit to find a comfy place-he is not used to a pillow-but I think he is down for now. Let's just hope 1) he sleeps through the night and we don't wake up to a little boy climbing in bed with us, and 2) he doesn't fall out of bed!
