Boston's Room

As most of you know, Mark is VERY picky about decor when it comes to Boston's room. He wants his little boy to be ALL BOY. We quickly decided on a baseball theme for the room, and it was definitely sealed when we found this quilt and these throw pillows from pottery barn kids. The quilt has all the national league team logos, and then we got the accent pillows to go with it (the front one being the Boston Red Sox "green monster").

We looked all over the place for crib bedding to go with it, since the quilt is twin size and is actually just an accent for the room. We were going to do just plain colors, but then we found the PERFECT set that goes great with the baseball stuff. And it was on clearance at Pottery Barn Kids. We got such a steal on it! Online, it looked as though it would go great, but we were a little worried until we got it, since it was a non-returnable clearance item. But I think it looks like it was meant to be!

Here's another view of the crib all done up. We still have yet to get a bed skirt for it, and we don't know whether we even will or not. But I think it looks pretty dang cute in there. The twin quilt will be placed elsewhere in the future obviously, but I liked that it kind of shows the theme of the room. Thanks to Mark's mom for getting us the crib! I think it is absolutely perfect, and I am very excited about how it all came together.

Haylee said...: Hey cuz!! I can't wait to see you next week. How fun to do your bedding in bo-sox stuff. Just a suggestion - try turning your bumper pads around so the stripes are on the inside of the crib. That way you can see them better! :) LOVES!; June 12, 2009 at 1:43 AM

Quotable Quotes

The other day Boston and I were at the church for a little singing play group. He must have been getting sick of it, because half way into it, he runs across the room, drags over the diaper bag, hands me the strap, and says, "Come on, mom. Let's get outta here!"

Today I go to get in my car and open the door for Boston to climb in. He runs over to Mark's car and says, "No, mommy! I wanna my daddy's car!"

After asking Boston if he wants a cheeseburger... "No! I not cheeseburger! I nuggets!" We go through this everyday, as he usually wants nuggets or a hot dog, no matter what I'm offering.

Getting Boston ready for bed... Me: "Boston, do you want to wear your Mickey Mouse pants?" Boston: (squealing) "Yes! Hot Dog, Hot Pants!"

Today Mark is eating a grapefruit, and Boston (thinking it's an orange) wants some. Mark puts a small piece into Boston's open mouth... Boston looks at Mark with a look of deepest digust, spits it out, does a full-body shudder, and says, "Ucky, be-be! Ucky, be-be!"

The other day Boston tells Nikki, "Mama, I wanna nugget!" He later tells me, "Mama! Mama! I wanna coke!" Lovely.

Me: Boston, what does a doggie say? Boston: Arf, arf, Pluto!

The other day, Boston was watching Mickey Mouse (as always) and I told him we were going bye-bye. He turns to the TV and says, "OK, bye-bye, see ya, Dedo (Pluto), Daisy, Mmmm Mouse!" This kid is so dang cute!

This afternoon I asked Boston if he wanted some fruit snacks. He got a huge grin on his face, said, "Yeah!", followed me to the kitchen, and when I handed him the pack, he exclaimed, "Ooooooh, deg-nuh (thank you)!" Too cute.

Mark talking about how much he has been taking care of Boston (and thus changing diapers) the past month... "I'm getting so good! I changed a really stinky one the other day, and I only gagged once! I was proud of myself!"

Mark singing to Boston, who is fussy with gas, "I'm gonna push that poop right outta my butt... I'm gonna push that poop right outta my butt... I'm gonna push that poop right outta my butt, and send it down the drain!"
