Sammy's Big Boy Room

The room is done, and Sammy has slept in the big bed twice with minimal issues. Thad was convinced that it was going to take us hours to get Sammy to stay in the bed and that it would be a huge ordeal, just because that is the way Sammy is. But Sam surprised us. He didn't come out of the room at all, just stood at the door knocking and calling "Dada!" but once I put him back in bed he cried for a minute and then went to sleep. Nap time today was a little more eventful, it took about 40 minutes to get him to go to sleep, but overall I am surprised and impressed with how well he is adjusting.

Corky came over today and painted the airplanes on the wall, and I love how they turned out. There was  a bit of a  fiasco when Sammy got a paint can open all by himself and dumped it on the carpet in the front room. In case anyone want's to know, goof-off in the yellow aerosol can get's paint out of carpet. It does leave a greasy film, but that can be removed by resolve carpet cleaning foam. Write that down, it might happen to you one day. Anyway, I love the planes.

You might have notice there is no dresser in the pictures, and that's because Sammy has the smallest room in the world, and it wouldn't fit. So now it's in the closet, and the toys that were previously stored in baskets in the closet are now under the bed where he has easy access to them. There are a few finishing touches to do, like hanging a couple of pictures, but other than that I think I'm done with my projects in the kids room for a while.
phew!
