God Loves Little Boys


I just picked up this wonderful "Why God Loves Little Boys" saying affixed to an antique wooden plaque. Buby & I found it at the community yardsale for only .50 cents. Quite the find, I think. It celebrates all-things-great about my little boy: strength, courage, curiosity, spirit, and eagerness. And the image of boys fishing in canoes could not be more apropos.

We have been slowly collecting lovely old things for Buby's room. He's still in his "nursery" right now (the color scheme.. surprise!.. is blue and green). But he'll move from crib to big boy bed before he turns 3, and in plenty of time for the next bambino's arrival in Buby Land. (No, Mom, that is not an announcement!) We certainly don't want to rush the bed. (Are parents ever ready to have their baby run free in the dark and empty dresser drawers at 3am?) But he's already lifting his leg over the bar and nearly climbing out of the crib, so we know it's only a matter of time. When the crib and accessories eventually move into the new baby's nursery, Buby will get to help redecorate his pad. It will have some vintage things, sweet words about God, and no shortage of BLUE and GREEN.

The move to the bed was very scary!! I did not sleep for the first few nights, but big surprise!!! Gillian has slept better since we moved her into the toddler bed. She had a phobia of the crib since she was about 6 months old. Oh and she never emptied the drawers in the middle of the night. Upon awaking she heads right inot our room and pats Daddy's arm until he lifts her in!!!
