BIG BOY BED

Yesterday, we had Thomas's room painted in preparation for him moving into a big boy bed. We decided to have it professionally painted to save us the stress and frustration two perfectionists would go through painting it ourselves. The pro had it done in 5 hours when it took us three weeks to paint Thomas's room when I was pregnant. Three weeks you ask? Well, it was like this: 20 minutes of David painting followed by a 2 hour rest period to calm down after getting frustrated that things weren't going the way his wife wanted, and then the cycle repeated.

Thomas is VERY excited about his new room. When he got home from school yesterday, I took him up to watch the painter at work. He looked around for a minute or two without saying anything and then said, in a reverent tone of voice, "Ooooo, cool!"
