Oh my lawwwd polyvore just posted heaps of crap to my blog, sorry peeps!!!!
Anyway....
We bought Orlando's Big Boy bed over the weekend. This beautiful sunshine yellow number from Incy Interiors, it was on sale and I thought we may as well. There was also another reason behind my madness of buying the bed when he is only 7 months old. A girlfriend of mine suggested we get his Big Boy Bed as soon as possible and have it in the nursery so he gets used to it. It'll be used as the reading spot, a place to change his clothes, a place for us to sleep if he is sick and needs someone with him. I've heard lots of stories about the difficulties of moving to The Big Bed, my girlfriend said we might find it easier if he is used to the bed already. My theory (for now) is that it will be exciting and an adventure to finally be allowed to sleep in the bed he has only ever used as a reading spot etc. We'll see if my theory works in 18 months time hahaahahahaa
I'm back at work next week so we need to get the nursery finished. Today the door was hung and I've promptly painted the first coats of orange on the outside and blackboard on the inside. The Moomintroll wall decals have been ordered as has the Basquiat Pez Dispenser dinosaur. Yay!
I've got to say I'm kind of glad I waited until now to do Orlando's room. My idea of what I wanted has changed from being cute and somewhat soft to bold and happy. My thoughts are this room will now grow with him instead of it being too babyish in a few months. I said to Hamish we're going to end up loving his room more than our own, ha!
