We’ve decided to dress up the turret. Even if it only serves as a temporary nursery for the baby, this playroom space will surely be improved with color, curtains, and a little bit of magic dust known as attention. Once bub starts sleeping through the night, we can address how to best fit his masculine self into the lavender girlapalooza that is Charlotte’s bedroom—or sort out some other solution.
The older kids were skipping to get involved. All in all, painting took only 3x longer than it would have had Isaac manned the roller the entire time. I reassured him that it was a worthy trade off for good memories and sweet feelings. Besides, who could resist this petitioning kitty cat?
Your kids are growing up! I can see the Charlotte will make a good mommy -- just like you!

Oh my goodness...I LOVE that color...AND the kiddos are obviously super adorable!! I will admit, I was hoping for a name announcement! :-)
Okay, so I can go with calling him Bub but I must know the name of that color paint!? I am in a mad search for something like that for my living room! Seriously, I have looked at paints for over a year...I can be a little indecisive at times!
Thanks for sharing! Have a SUPER Day!

Anyone notice how long this baby is? He's a tall one. And he sleeps with his legs out straight, which is odd and adorable.
I love that he's pinching his shirt like it's tea time in that smaller shot above. Just sayin.

Now that you mention it, he IS really long! You might want to just start buying size 2T jammies now! ;-) Goodness!

He is tall! You know what I love? How babies' noses swoop down into their cheeks. Baby baggy eyes. Just kills me.
Lovely color!

Sibiling photos are so precious. Those photos of Charlotte with the baby are so precious.

Love to see your bigger kids getting in on looking after the wee man. It is inspiring and hopefully my household can copy sometime soon.
I'd love to know his name ... please?

I had to say, reading your earlier post about where to put baby 3 made me smile. We too have the same delema, two somewhat older children and a little baby bit that came along. Where the heck do you put them? The new nursery looks wonderful, I am glad that you were able to find a place for your new babe. Ours?...still in a corner in our room. Happy creating! : )

Just painted our downstairs TV room with my 13-year-old last week and I'm with ya. It's tough to give up the "control", but what a great way for kids to learn. Just think, when they get really good, a project might go even faster!
