His very own room

posted by lizzie    « 8 Comments »    tied to Uncategorized   

We’ve spent the last several days painting. Simon’s bedroom and the bathroom are pretty much done. The living room is more than halfway there. And our room and the kitchen have a long way to go. But here is a picture of Simon’s room as it is. Micah designed the stenciling on the wall. Each room will have something different stenciled in it.
I admit I was a little bit worried about Simon having his own room, but he seems to be transitioning to it just fine. The first few nights were a little rough, but I think that had more to do with adjusting from going to bed at 10:00 Utah time to 8:30-9:00 New York time. And I have to say that even though it was really sad to hear him crying one night, it was also nice to be able to hear him calm down a few minutes later without having to go in and try to get him to go back to sleep.

    Wow, that’s so exciting!! Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to have Samuel in his own room, and it always feels like a wonderful but scary dream all at once. I’m glad to know it’s doable. ;0)

    Yeah, for having two bedrooms. It looks really good. I’m really excited to see the rest of your house.

    Cute room! Having two rooms is nice. Even though Sawyer sleeps in our room (for now) it’s nice to have his own room to keep all of the other stuff, and a place where we can play on the floor and not have to trip over stuff in our own room! The tricky thing for me right now is teaching him to nap in his crib…

    Hooray for more space! He even has his own bathroom? Rock on. I am so glad to hear he’s settling into his own room so well. *sigh* Things just keep getting better and easier from there.

    Groovy stenciling Micah! Can’t wait to see the rest of the place.

    Oh, he definitely does not have his own bathroom. Unless you count the one that he wears all the time and has to be changed several times a day. No, sigh, I’m afraid it will be many, many, many years before we’re able to run with the “two bathroom” crowd.

    That looks incredible. You guys are awesome and so creative! Nice job with the stenciling Micah! I’d be happy with a room like that! Ü I look forward to seeing pictures of the other rooms in the near future.
