Somehow my Baby Will turned 3 yesterday - not quite sure how that happened, you know, since he is my little BABY and all, but it seems I have no say in this matter. Coincidentally, I finally finished painting his new bed last weekend and while he was out for a walk with his Baba, I put together a whole new room for him for his birthday. "Wow," he said, "It's all niced-up!!" Thanks Dude.
It took me two weekends (thankfully they were nice and sunny) and 5 coats to paint this puppy...red is NOT an easy colour! It still looks uneven if you look closely, but Will doesn't seem to mind. And I love the red bed. It was my brother's growing up and I think has been in the family for generations before that. It is obviously hand-turned as all the spindles are different sizes and thicknesses. So I am thrilled to have it in Will's room, although I got a bit teary taking apart his crib/bed, remembering being all fat and preggo putting it together. Al least I could console myself in designing a new room.
