Call It What You Want...

Just in case I haven't had enough to say lately, I thought you should know...

Mark has moved into his big boy room today.

Last night Daddy moved the last of Grandpa Arnfinn's and Grandma Ruth's furniture into the new and improved guest room (formerly my sewing room, and still a catch-all room for my craft stuff as well) and put up the valances I made to go with the quilt, and so today, I took apart the crib and moved it across the hall (this would have been much easier had two doorways been about two inches wider and lined up instead of staggered a little across the hall from each other). Mark helped by playing with trucks and only knocking the side of the crib over on himself once... and he didn't let it smush him but caught it and held it up while I came to his rescue. Also I moved the dresser and some clothes from the closet, and took out the toddler bed that Jonathan used when he was here last.

He's now taking a nap in his same old bed in a new room, and I even let him take a bulldozer into bed with him so he may never want to get up. The room-darkening shades seem to work well, and I did bring his CD player in, but I didn't move the monitor over, so I really can't hear if he's carrying on. (With this comes the question: Do I continue to have a monitor in his room? Do I leave the monitor in the room for the new baby? Hmmm...)

I will try to post some pictures, at least of his new accessories, but they'll have to wait to be taken until after the boy gets up.

This is bed, quilt and left window valance. The trucks on the quilt are repeated on the valances, three for each.

And this is the right valance. This fine set includes cement mixer, tractor, dump truck, box truck, school bus and fire truck. There is a chance the boy will be too excited about the trucks to sleep at all.
