Last weekend the boys Daddy started re-decorating their bedroom. We didn't really have a theme to work on initially, because from asking the boys what they would like it wasn't really clear. Although the most recent idea from Burton was to paint the room pink after Peppa Pig! And Jenson would probably love to have Raa Raa The Noisy Lion and friends covering the walls!
Anyway, after visiting a soft furnishings store last Saturday we found a selection of 'boy' themed ready made blackout curtains and the boys opted for a pair which displayed the solar system. So the theme is 'space' and as Burton pointed out his and Jenson's bedroom will be like where astronauts go!!
Their Daddy has already painted the walls a mix of electric blue and then midnight blue for the walls and ceiling by the boys beds so that the darker coloured walls can be covered in glow in the dark 3D planet and star stickers. This is the same as he did in the boys bedroom on the ceiling at our former home.

I can still remember Burton's little face when he first saw his newly decorated bedroom back then. He couldn't believe his eyes when he say the Toy Story characters on his walls and his new Buzz Lightyear bed!
It was so wonderful to see and I must dig out and watch the video clip we took at the time as it has been a long time since I saw it.
However, as much as I can recall his face and how amazing the room looked I had forgotten how little Burton looked! Prior to his room being transformed, he had slept in his cot so it was a big day introducing him to his new big boy bed. I bought him some new pj's for the occasion and Daddy captured him that night at bedtime after his bath posing in his new bed attire and new bedroom.
Look at how well little he is, he would have been almost 2 years old (taken in May 2011 and he was 2 in July)
Oh and the smile. Awwww it makes me smile because that was one of the many 'smile' phases he had. The 'smiling while kind of winking/squinting' smile no less!
Seeing him now, so tall and lean and with his short big boy hair it seems so hard to imagine that 2 years ago he looked like this.
*big sigh*

I *love* *loved?) that bedroom and felt rather envious when I saw photos of it for the first time. The ceiling is particularly impressive.
ReplyDeleteHe looks so tiny, and has changed so much. I still think he has one of the cutest smiles I've ever seen xx
