LUKE'S BIG BOY ROOM

Luke now has a Big Boy Room!!!

It's finally all finished, and he will hopefully be sleeping during the night in there starting this weekend. He has napped in there a couple of times already, and did really well. Somehow he knows that when he's in there for sleeping, he needs to stay in bed.

This is his Big Boy Bed.
Daddy made the "Side"-board to fill the funny angle of that corner of the room. That way, he has protection on that side of the bed. On the open side, there is a guard-rail that slides out and up from under the mattress. We had to provide him with a stool, so if he does happen to get out of bed in the middle of the night, he will be able to get back in.
The "Side"-board also has shelves in the end of it for toy storage, and a cubby over the bed to hold some of his favorite books and toys.

This is the Entertainment Area.
We put a TV in his room so he can watch all the old Disney movies that Mommy had saved for him. There are a bunch of old videos, but also some new DVD's that he's gotten recently.

This is the Dressing Area.
Luke doesn't have his own closet, but this big six drawer dresser holds all of his clothes nicely. Currently, the bottom two drawers are empty, so still plenty of room for new summer clothes.

And this is the Play Area.
He has a Magnetic Chalkboard, his little Art table and plenty of toy storage with all the shelving.
The long top shelf houses all of his prized LSU gear and the Louisville Slugger Bat that Daddy got him. The top shelf of the shelving unit holds Max's things so he can keep an eye of Luke.

He LOVES his new room. He's always in there playing with his toys and writing on the chalkboard. He loves to put the magnetic letters up, but mostly he likes to dump all the letters on the floor for Mommy to pick up. However, he is very good at helping Mommy.

With six weeks to go before his new baby brother arrives, this big transition for him, I think, will go very well.
