A Place to Lay Their Heads
comment icon3 Comments

Big changes have taken place at our house lately. First of all, Addison's room has been relocated to the newly finished basement. We still have some finishing work to complete, but for the most part the basement is done. We've been chipping away at it for over two years so this is pretty exciting! Just this week Addie started sleeping in her toddler bed. She has done so well! Her afternoon naps have actually been longer than normal - wonderful news for any busy mom! The transition has gone very smoothly, largely in part to the time my mom and dad spent playing with Addie in her new room while they were up for Ayden's birth. Addie loves spending time in her new room so sleeping down there is an added bonus in her eyes. Thanks JD for all your hard work and long hours spent finishing things up so she could move in smile

So now Ayden has taken over Addie's old room upstairs. When we decorated Addie's nursery I went with brown and white bedding so that I could easily change the room from girlish to boyish without much work or expense. I took away the pink and added in some blues, greens and orange. Then Jim created and hung Ayden's new name art and photography over the bed. I love it!

Last but not least, we purchased a gently used Moses basket and a rocking stand for the little guy to use all around the house and on the deck. However, once I started looking for Moses basket bedding I realized that most all the bedding is sold with a basket or is super pricey. I finally went and purchased some fun fabric and asked our friend Rose to make some bedding for me. Rose does everything about 10 times as fast as a normal person so she had it finished in no time at all. She also made bedding for a mini moses basket that she gave Addie to use for her dolls (you can see it at the end of her toddler bed in the 1st photo). It's so cute! Thanks Rose! I couldn't have been more pleased! We really appreciate you.

It looks fantastic! I really love your decorating style!

I’ve always loved that Kid Kraft toddler bed, too. It looks wonderful in Addie’s new room. How exciting for her!

Ayden is just adorable! He looks so cozy in his Moses basket.
