We are planning to put DS' room together finally for his Christmas present. He's 3.5 and has been with us fully--like sleeping in or next to us (toddler bed side-carred from 3) since birth, but also his clothes in with ours and he shares our bathroom. We have always called his room "his room", but it's empty.
So I am planning wall colors (blue stripes--either alternating finish or slightly lighter-darker) and looking at furniture (twin or full bed, nightstand, wardrobe/dresser) and even just bought some classic Winnie the Pooh prints for the walls (he loves Milne's Pooh). I was even thinking how funny it is that people use Pooh for a newborn nursery when the original Pooh was meant for 5 year olds. But that's a digression.
Mostly I am thinking how funny it is that I am now doing what many expecting parents do--outfitting/decorating a nursery--but my kid is 3.5, needs a proper bed, hasn't need a changing table in years, etc.
Mostly I am just having fun!
Oh, and I have no idea when he'll actually sleep in said room, we just decided it was time to do it up!
