Yesterday we had a big ole snow storm here in Boston. When this happens the city calls a snow emergency, which means cars can only park on one side of the road. When an entire city parks their cars on the street this can cause a major problem. It also means when it snows, you pick a spot and you DON'T move. So yesterday, we did lots of projects inside and had a pajama day!
Besides taking the opportunity to put all our Christmas decorations away, we seized the opportunity to "re-do" Berkeley's room. This was an emotional project for me, much more than I had anticipated. We decided after Christmas we would get rid of his changing table and the rocker to give him more space to play and make room for his Christmas toys. I realized how attached I was to this precious rocker; this simple piece of furniture holds so many dear memories. This room has been set up this way for two years now and it was hard to think it would be different. Before Christian took my chair to the basement I "snuggled" with Berke one last time in it; that lasted all of 5 seconds. It made me realize how fast that little baby grew up and I suddenly wanted another baby again. I realized that wasn't going to happen, so I made peace with my chair saying good bye for a time (but not before begging Christian to find another spot in our home for it). I know it will be around for the next little spirit that joins our family.
I purchased this new rug for Berke's room, I think it is pretty fun.
After a lot of work decluttering, finding missing toys under furniture, and furniture assemble, this is how the final product turned out. It really opened up the room quite a bit, and now Berke can be a crazy boy with lots of space to play.
Once the rug is in place it will be finished.
PS- As I write this I am wondering why my kid is being so quite....oh yep, he has something he is not supposed to play with and just tried to hide it from me. Clever kid! I cannot believe he is going to be TWO on Friday!!!
