Room Re-design

As you can see - we made some pretty drastic changes in  his room.  Mainly the bed.  We put away the new full size bed we bought for him last summer, and got one of the twin beds from upstairs to take it's place for now.  Honestly, I really wish we would have left him in his crib much longer - as that is what most of the sleep books say - but we really thought that he was ready for a big bed.  However, he runs to our room each time he wakes up at night and is still sleeping with us most of the time.

We were having a hard time figuring out where to put a play room, and honestly, the main reason why he wasn't  playing in his room as much was because the bed took up most of the space.  Now we don't have to change our dining room or worry with upstairs yet (I don't think he is 100% ready for the stairs).  So this was the perfect solution for about a  year or so until he is ready for playing upstairs. 

This was Peyton's room before:

And this is his room now:

Now - all that is left is taking that table upstairs and getting it out of the way, and pulling the toys that have taken over my living room into his room.  I hope this bed holds up for him as well.  It is over 100 years old (the bed, not the mattress), and Peyton can be rough with things...
