Meet the Fullers

We started the process of converting the old guest room to Jack's new "big boy" room in May, since his old room is so perfectly suited to being a baby's room.  We've had new windows and a new door installed, then John installed all new trim and baseboards.  We had the electrical updated (an unexpected thing, but it was worthwhile in the end) and John has patched the walls and painted a new, softer blue.  Finally, my contribution, the shopping, came into play (with a very appreciated great deal of help from Nana and Stew-thanks!!) and we got new furniture, linens, window treatments, and a rug. 

 

Monday night was the maiden voyage for Jack sleeping in his "big boy" bed...he was excited at first, but then within about 15 minutes was standing pathetically by the door, all of his stuffed animals and blankies with him, saying "sleep in crib?"  I laid down on the bed with him until he fell asleep (about an hour) and then he slept all through the night! Yay!  Tonight we tucked in him in, and, fingers crossed, it seems like he went down without too much fuss.

 

We're so pleased with how the room turned out.  We got to keep the queen sized bed (I know, sorta ridiculous, but now guests can still sleep in Jack's bed) and his room looks great!  Now just need to finish the few "punch list" items we have and hang some more things on the walls and we're done!  Thanks, John, for all your hard work.
