New Year, New Room

In preparation for the baby we decided to switch Ben to a 'big boy' room.  We had new furniture delivered on Friday and moved all of his things today.  He even was a big helper and moved a lot of things himself.  We tested out the new room with a nap today and although he woke up crying, he slept over 2 hours which is unheard of on the weekends with us (we're lucky if we get over an hour)!  It's probably just a fluke, but I'll take my chances.  We'll see how his first full night goes, but with most of the decorations from his old room being in his new room I hope it will go smoothly.  So here are pics of his new room and I am really liking the car decals that I got at Target.  Ben can't seem to get enough cars and mainly choo choo's so he was excited when he first saw those on the wall even though he was a little upset when he realized he couldn't play with them.  I also have a big boy bed in there for when he outgrows the crib - he loves to play on it so hopefully we don't have to use it for sleeping for a while as I will miss the days of confinement...

Due to the fact that once we removed our christmas tree last night, we hung the cheap suction cup basketball hoop on the door and Ben played with it for almost an hour this morning!  Normally his attention span isn't quite that long so I decided this afternoon once we had his room situated and he had such a great nap after helping that he should get a real (his size of course) basketball hoop so I don't have to keep fixing the one that won't stay on the door.  After three stores we finally found one that was perfect.  It is adjustable height and should last at least a few years as he grows, plus the hoop actually gets larger for when he's smaller so he can make more baskets.  Not sure who thought that up, but I'm a fan.  Here he is enjoying the new hoop.


So Excited after making a basket from 3' out!



Slam Dunk!

Hope everyone has a happy new year!!
