New Room

In order to prepare for the new little one coming into our lives, we decided to move Tanyon into his own "Big Boy" room. We wanted him to have a special place that was his to help with the transition of having to share so much with his new baby brother. It was a couple of months in the making, but after trips to IKEA, Target, online sources, and gifts from family...we have finally put it all together.

We used some of the items from his old room and added many new touches to create a transportation themed room. Tanyon now sleeps in a toddler bed (he was in the crib converted into a toddler bed). He loves his new space so much that he drags anyone who comes over to the house into his room to play.

Tanyon is in the middle of potty training, so he wears only his underwear around the house.  This is so normal for him, that he saw no problem giving you a tour of his new room in them...

New race track rug from IKEA:

A train table from craigslist was completed by an amazing train set from Grammie Dee and Larry.  There were so many pieces, that we decided to simplify the track for now and grow into it.

Tanyon helped decorate his closet door with stickers from Target. He also has his own coat rack and chalk board easel:

 His toys are organized in cubbies, so he can easily put things away.  He is pretty good about the clean-up game already.  We switch out some of the toys every other month or so. Of course he also wanted to show off his guitar for the photo tour...

Here he is taking a break to sing one of his favorites, "If you're happy and you know it:"
