I'm sorry I have neglected you recently. We've been busy busy painting, arranging, shopping, hanging, moving, cleaning, and WORKING on a new big boy room for this little monkey.
I promise I'm working on posts and will have lots of updates coming soon! In the meantime., here is a little glimpse of our work in progress...
Step 1--Paint
When Cooper walked into this room and first saw all of the furniture gone, he put his hands on his cheeks and exclaimed, "Oh no! What happen my big boy bed?!" We've really been talking up how this room would be his big boy room and we would make it a fun, new room for him. It's sweet to me that he really thought he might be sleeping in the Anthro-dressed bed. I assured Cooper that his room would be way cooler than how it was before!
Chris volunteered to help paint...yes, please!
Cooper entertained himself in the hallway by sweeping and eating a brownie, which he found in the kitchen and helped himself to the bag. I came around the corner just as he was biting into the largest brownie a two-year-old has ever eaten.

Step 2--Check out the bedding
As soon as the paint was dry and the room was cleaned up, Philip moved in Cooper's new mattresses and draped the duvet cover on top. It was starting to take shape! And as soon as Cooper saw this new "bed" he jumped right in and begged Philip to read to him. He didn't have to do much arm twisting.
Step 3--Put the bed frame together
Cooper was so excited to help Philip build the bed frame. He got all of his own tools and would ask Philip, "You need this, Daddy? What we do next?" Or he'd pick up the instructions and say, "Hmm...what this say?" He was loving this!

Sweet love pat for Philip as he said, "Good job, Daddy!".
As we completed each step along the way, Cooper was so positive and encouraging telling us "ooohhh, it looks nice! Good job, Mommy! I like big boy room!" I kept reminding him that it's not finished yet, and it's only going to get better. His excitement has been so sweet and genuine and exactly what keeps me motivated to make the room perfect for him.So, Blog, I promise to get back on track with my posts. I've got lots of fun stories to share!
