Peter's Alphabet

Peter likes to draw and color and he likes us to color with him so we've been showing him his letters. He also has a few alphabet books that he likes us to read to him. He's really good at recognizing his letters now. Anyway, he's so stinking cute (not that I'm biased or anything). :)

Peter's New Bedroom

I finally finished hanging the pictures on the wall in Peter's new room so I thought that I would share pictures of the completed room. It is painted the same color as the nursery and I decorated everything with this awesome cobalt blue. I got the toddler bed from a friend that just happens to match his dresser. The room feels huge with so little furniture in it. Peter really seems to love it. The first night we put him in his new room was also the first night that he slept in the toddler bed. At first he laid right down in the bed and was okay but when he realized that he was supposed to stay there he freaked out a bit, Andrew comforted him and he fell asleep and has been fine ever since. One thing about having him in a toddler bed is that he gets out of bed in the morning when he wakes up and comes into our room and wakes us up. Most of the time it's around 6:30 which isn't too bad but a few days he's come in at 5:30 which isn't okay and so we get him his milk and a new diaper and have him walk with us back to his bedroom to go back to sleep. 

Nap time is a bit different than bed time. In the beginning it was a bit of a fight to get him to go to his room and stay in there and sleep so we had to lock the door. Some days he'll just sleep on the floor behind the door and others he'll stay napping in his bed. Most days now we don't need to lock the door and he stays in bed. One way that I get him to go to his room to take a nap is I ask him where his doggy and kitty are and he runs to his room finds them and climbs into bed and cuddles his stuffed animals. 

The bay windows with curtains. They don't keep out all the light but they really help with keeping the temperature down. Darn west facing windows. 

I put up the letters and Andrew asked why I named another room Peter. 

The closet. :)

Peter loves having a mirror in his room and I love that he can't knock it over anymore. 

He kept his dresser and the pictures on his wall.

This is a frequent sight after nap time even if he sleeps in his bed.
