First Day of School and New Playroom

Nicky had his first day of school on September 14th.  He started out with a half day and then went right into full days.  The first full day he was pretty fussy, but he has gotten much better.  The problem is momma works at his school and has to walk through his classroom many times during the day.  He is to the point where half the time he sees me he cries and the other half he smiles and goes back to playing.   He has 3 other boys in his class that are all born within a week of each other so I know they will grow up to be big trouble.  I only got one picture (this may be the second day) so forgive me.  I'll do better on the first day of Kindergarten...or not

My bag is packed, let's roll!

 We also started the painstaking task of clearing out the spare bedroom to make into another nursery.  Wow I could not believe the amount of stuff in that room.  The problem was finding a place for that stuff, meant rearranging all of the stuff in other places of the house.  Sunday was spend reorganizing the extra bedroom, garage, crawlspace, and a few closets.  We are nowhere near done or even to the point of being able to fit a crib into that room.  We did however complete the task of turning our empty room into a sweet playroom.  We have spent the past 2 years with this room totally empty and I finally decided to make it a playroom.  Our living room has so much stuff to climb and pull and he has spent the past 8 months spending almost every day in that room.  It was time to have a space to roam free of dangerous things. 

Play shelves and TV for elmo

 There is still plenty of room for toys and we will probably change it out often to prevent boredom.  Can you see the teacher/daycare resemblance?  I can't help it.  This is a dog free zone so Nick can get toys out and not have to worry about chewing or getting something else's drool on them.  There is also lots of room for a baby swing and play mat come time for that.  We just need a few more baskets and a lamp for the other corner.  1 room down, many to go.
