I am a Big Boy

We have had a couple of groundbreaking weeks at our house. The Boy is truly growing up, faster than we can keep track. I think as we continue to get ready for the new arrival (not fast enough I might add), The Husband and I are seeing just how big The Boy has become. He is so ready to be a big brother. He has a countdown to September in his mind. He talks to the baby in my stomach. He talks about what he is going to teach the baby. It is so sweet.

The two big things that have happened over the course of the last couple of weeks are HUGE is a boy's life. First, The Boy got to pick the color and decor of his new room. We decided to move him to the slightly larger, used to be our guest room, bedroom. I have to say that it did take The Husband a considerable amount of time to paint the bedroom, but it got done. I took a day off to relax a while back and purchased curtains for the closets in the bedroom. We took the doors off the closets. When the Boy got home from school that day, I showed him the empty room with the new curtains and he determined it was time to move into his new room. He actually started moving things. We still had to clean the room, but he was rip, roaring and ready to go. So, needless to say, we moved all of his things into his room that night after The Husband got home from work. Here he is in all his glory that night. Ignore the blue curtain in the background, it has since been changed to khaki.

The second big thing is that The Boy officially has a big kid bike. No more tricycles for him. He is two wheeling it...with training wheels of course. Look how cute.
