Musical Rooms

We're halfway through the painting portion of the 2009 edition of The Great Switcheroo. With Bonnie waking less during the night and Jack heading off to long days at kindergarten this fall, it's time to separate The Biggies and give Jack his own room.

I thought he'd be sad to lose his roommate. On the contrary, he is positively ecstatic. More room to spread out his crap, no fights over which CD is played at bedtime, new furniture...what more could an almost 6 year old want? (A desk, apparently, but that isn't in the budget yet.) His "new" room (which is where he slept in the crib when we first moved in) is now a lovely blue which he chose and The Boy's boudoir will be completed when his furniture arrives on Thursday. Actually, I say that completes it but he disagrees. Anyone want to tell him that no matter how many times he asks nicely, we are NOT painting a mural of his favorite things on his walls? "You know, Mom, like knights, castles, pirate ships, hieroglyphics, airplanes, mummies, stuff like that? All my favorite things. It would be so cool!" Mummies? *sigh* Cool though it might be, sorry but NOT HAPPENING.
