Lofty Goals.

Here's a sneak peek of what we've done so far...




The bed is perfect! We are going to try the toddler bed out for awhile until Myer gets the hang of sleeping in a big boy bed, and then eventually we will put a twin mattress on the floor under the loft bed, kindof like this:




As I type Myer is sleeping soundly in his new bed! He looks so old in there. When did he get old enough to be out of a crib?! WEIRD.

There are still lots of things to do, like:

*Rearrange the bookshelf so that Myer's books are on bottom where he can reach and Ezra's books are on the upper shelves where he can reach. (I believe kids should always be allowed access to books in bed at night... I love it when Ezra stays up late "reading"!)

*Move the boys' dresser into the new room and move that orange chair back into the nursery.

*Convert the window seat (now behind the bed) into a toy box/storage area.

*Convince Chris to let me leave the bed in front of the window & bookshelf like it is now, instead of moving it against the other wall. ;)

Wish me luck!! (Especially with that last one! hehe.)

When Two Boys Share A Room.

Today I spent pretty much my entire day merging the boy's rooms.

They will sleep together in this room from now until... forever?

The problem is that the other room (ezra's old room) is still FULL of toys. The closet, the floor space, the dressers...

Here's the thing: I don't WANT a whole separate PLAYROOM in my house. I don't want that many TOYS!! Somehow I have to downsize an entire room full of toys into this one bedroom.

So my next project will be getting rid of a ton of that stuff that just... sits around... so that most of their toys and their clothes and their beds and everything else all fit into this one room:





(We obviously still need to move MYER's name over to the left and get some more letters for EZRA. I think that will be so cute! Eventually, when Myer is big enough, we'll get bunk-beds and that will give us a lot more space... but for now it's squishy cozy!)

It's going to be crazy trying to get everything to fit in there, but I am determined to do it. I want Ezra's old room to be a nice guest room eventually so that we can have GUESTS again!

I LOVE guests.
