He was also eager to show off the end result. And jump... We also have a matching dresser and night stand. I'll take a picture of the whole room once the transformation is complete...which includes getting rid of the crib. After a rough week Wyatt has been doing better staying in his bed when we put him down. However, we keep discovering him on the floor in our room in the middle of the night. He doesn't say anything...but we look and find a little mound sleeping on the carpet. No pillow, no blanket, just Wyatt and carpet. Not sure what to do about this one. (note: if the headboard looks huge it's because we don't have the boxspring on yet and the mattress is set at the lower of two settings...even though he acts like King Wyatt we didn't get him a throne bed.)
Now onto the next project... My poor baby girl is getting the shaft when it comes to rooms. The nicer room upstairs is the guest room. This room only has one little window. I guess it gives us lots of options for arranging the furniture! We decided to leave it blue. The bedding has blue in it and there aren't any other blue rooms in the house. Plus---we'll be moving before we know it and then we can get her a better room and set it up for good. After Christmas we'll move full speed ahead on completing the room for baby girl.
I'm learning the hard way about the dangers of saying ANYTHING to a toddler. A long time ago I dubbed a time when Wyatt was running around the house sans pants a "no pants party". Well, now he asks for a no pants party every day. It has evolved into other things as well...a no shirt party, a no sock party. And, as you can imagine, most of these times aren't much of a party for me as I would prefer to have my child fully clothed. Mark would probably like to take this opportunity to point out the muscles in Wyatt's legs as he did to me last week. Now if we can just get his height to pull through Mark's dream of his super-athlete can be on it's way...
Last Friday we went to the Collierville Christmas parade. It was actually unseasonably cold for down here. It felt cold even to us northerners because we don't really have the right gear. Wyatt did agree to wear a hat and mittens though which surprised me. The parade was at night and there were lots of bands and floats with lights. Wyatt liked the firetrucks the best...big surprise there!
I'm all done with Christmas shopping. It's been really low-key this year since we'll be in Florida and can't really bring much with us there and we have to ship our gifts to the rest of our family...lots of online shopping for me! This will be the first year we will spend Christmas without celebrating with most of our family. In the past we were able to work it out to hit both groups either before or after the holiday. As I prepare for Christmas it just doesn't quite seem the same without all of that...but I just keep reminding myself that the three (almost four) of us are a family now too.
