We spent last weekend launching Operation Room Switch - Beebee (Little Man's name for his big sister) is being moved into the office, Little Man is moving into Beebee's old room, and the office is being moved into the nursery off of our bedroom (along with becoming a closet). It is time, however we have accumulated waaaaay too much crap - way too much. We are blessed to have so many people who love and adore our children, who love to buy them stuff or give them stuff. Hubby has made many trips to the Salvation Army drop off and we still could get a dumpster. The downfall of having a small cape for a house, is that we don't have much of a staging area to hold the contents of the room while it's being cleaned and painted. Thankfully, I have a very patient father who has helped us out with the painting process and a very patient husband to help me with moving stuff. Oh, have I mentioned that I also went back to work this week to unpack into a brand new classroom? Yes, Operation Room Switch should have happened earlier in the summer...poor planning on my part.
Anyway, I chose orange and yellow for Little Man's room, while Beebee picked a lovely pink and purple for her walls:
We are slowly getting there and tonight BeeBee is spending her first night in her room (that still needs decorations and organizing):
Mean while, tonight is Little Man's last night in his cribby - tomorrow we will be moving him to his big boy bed in his new room. I think he understands what we're doing, but since he can't verbalize it, it's hard to know exactly what he knows of his "new room" and "new bed." I was thinking of making a sticker chart for him for staying in his bed and having him earn a small fish tank in his room. I don't know how much he can understand about that, but I'm curious if it will work.
We had a good week over all - Beebee got to spend two nights with Nana-bee so Little Man had some uninterrupted therapy times and I could get some unpacking done of at work and organizing done at home. He worked really hard in therapy this week and starts his outside therapy tomorrow. Here are some additional highlights of the week:
Buddy-Dog got upset that Little Man fell asleep and couldn't play.
Little man with his Big Dog and broom - some of his favorite things.
Beebee at the "tavern" after Daddy's soccer game, explaining to one of Daddy's single teammates all about how to be a mommy to a Bitty Baby...I'm sure he was thrilled.
My old school being torn down...it's a little sad, but I'm super excited for my new room and my new teaching team! :)
And my loves tonight...I've been feeling cruddy and I ended up canceling going out tonight to stay home and rest...these three made me smile tons though. :)
We have a busy week coming up - new therapist for Little Man, more unpacking and setting up at work, Little Man's 6 month Early Intervention evaluation, IFSP meeting, daycare meeting for Little Man, and continuing to set up the new bedrooms. Happy last week of Summer Vacation! :)
