i can hardly believe it.
several months ago, we moved him to a big boy bed. and kept him in his original room. dr. weissbluth says that too many changes can be too hard on a child. so it's best to do it one step at a time. so that's what we did. the man has never steered me wrong. he didn't this time either.
i had initially looked around at antique stores for new furniture for pratt's new room. but everything i found was expensive. and i just didn't have it in me to spend money when we had furniture already. but i was worried that it was too grown up for him. the drawers were too heavy, i wanted it painted, etc.
but i'm NO GOOD at decorating. i love eclectic homes. where things just look to be thrown together. old things, new things. modern things. traditional things. you know what i mean. but i can't do it. and one thing i've learned is that there is an art to that. you don't just randomly put things together. i'm not artsy. and i can't see it.
BUT. then something happened. i thought about paining the furniture white. because i thought the way it was made...it might just end up looking sort of shabby chic. beach cottage.
somehow, i was right. it looks so great. we moved his big boy bed in. and put all the other stuff around it. clint and i moved everything today. and the entire time, we just kept smiling at it. we both are so proud.
and so is pratt. as soon as we got his bed in, he lay down on the bed, got his pillows just right and said, "okay. cover me so i can take nap now. please."
once i get everything on the walls, i'll add pictures. i can't wait for spencer and my mom to see it. they will be so proud of me. :)
and aunt dixie, if you're reading this, i believe the white furniture maybe once belonged to you! we love it!! and so does pratt!! thank you!!
