Nesting

I'm not sure what to call the color. I've been describing it to people
as lime sherbet, but it doesn't seem quite right

My sneaky, clever husband planned an outing for me with my mother-in-law and sister-in-law to go to the splash pad today so he could get started on painting the baby room. And they went along with it and no one told me! But it was amazing. I love surprises. He was so tired by the time I got home, that I had to finish, but I don't mind painting. He did all the boring taping and moving things out of the room. The play date this morning was so good and I had such a good time with them and so did Jonah. He loves his cousins Rocky and Daisy. He talks about them all the time, about how they're his friends and how much fun he has playing with them.

There's obviously still a lot to do with the room, but it should only take another day to do it. I haven't quite figured out the ideal layout yet, but it'll just take some adjusting. I'm so excited! I'll keep you posted.

Rearranging

So we did it. Just decided this weekend to just do it. We have switched all the rooms around. And it is still utter chaos. We were only able to get the big things (furniture and the like) moved before we had to quit. Jonah's old room is now the office, our old room is now Jonah's, and the old office is now our room. I'm excited for the change and for the chance to reorganize and redecorate, to simplify and get rid of things we really don't need and now for Jonah to have a "big boy bed" to sleep in. When faced with having the put the crib back together, we just decided to convert it into the toddler bed. And so far so good. It means that Jonah decides that 6 AM is a good wake up time now and comes into our room, yelling our names and telling us he's "hungy". It's a good, fun thing though to take a new step with him and see him adapting so well to it. I'll post pictures as soon as the house is presentable to show. Going to Ikea in a few weeks to get Jonah's bday present, so we'll probably get some new things then to show too.
