New bedding - January '11

Way back when Sean and Drew's ages were respectively 3 and 2, I had grand plans to design them a cute boys room.

Unfortunately, it never happened. We had collected a lot of the sheets sets over time (at least 4 or more), but only 2 denim comforters (which 10 years later were looking rather shabby).

And each winter always found us scrounging around for ways to keep everyone warm (especially when company arrived).

Well for Christmas, Granddad and Nana purchased them each a duvet cover and sham of their choosing. I had them all browsing the PT Kids catalog at first, but the older boys informed that they were much too old for these patterns. Instead, they picked from PT Teen,

while the 2 younger boys stuck with PT Kids.

What do you think of their final selections?

Sean - blue/gray camo paired with blue sheets

Drew - black/gray camo paired with gray sheets

Aidan - airplanes paired with brown sheets

Luke - Curious George paired with red sheets

Now the boys are plenty warm (Pacific Coast medium-warmth Pyrenees down via Costco online), and we have warm blankets available for guests too:)

I promise he loves his "new bed" and even slept in it a couple of times,

BUT he is going through a stage where he wants to be with Mommy and Daddy for the night.

"I stared, I stared, I stared!!!" he states in his own childish lisp.

So once again a "new bed" was set up for him at the foot of our bed.

He is near us, but no longer sleeping between us every night - PROGRESS!!!!

We are slowly but surely working on him to be prepared for a move back to his bigger boy bed before his new baby brother arrives:)

A couple of cute tag ons - just couldn't resist;)
