We don't use the bumpers that came with the bedding, even though it is sooo cute, because both our children figured out how to pull the bumper down! Plus, their cribs weren't really made for bumpers since they don't have a slotted back. These bumpers are breathable, which are supposed to be better for babies anyway. Oh, and their blankets only made a special appearance for these pictures:)
In an earlier post I revealed my high hopes to paint art for the boys' nursery. Well, better sense prevailed and I realized that I didn't have the time nor the talent! LOL...a painter I am not. Believe me, I tried! I found a blog, LaineyBugCreations.blogspot.com, (I don't know how to post a link...sowwy!) and Jenn did a beautiful job. I e-mailed her a picture of the bedding and this is what she came up with! I love it:) If you click on my profile and go to "blogs that I follow" you can find her blog there.
Here's Ryan's canvas. Notice the "R is for Ryan" and "E is for Evan" matches the...
canvases that come with the bedding. Jenn decided to mimic the bedding's A is for...motif and use the same thing for the Peas' names. How cool is that? I wouldn't have thought of that in a million years. Check out her blog if you are looking for some custom art for your child's or loved one's room. She makes all kind of things!
One of my favorite things in this room is the picture on the wall in this photo. This is a prayer written by Rev. Wilson, who I lovingly call Rev. Diane:) She created this prayer for the Peas the day they were born. I wish I could post the words here. So beautiful and heartfelt! Rev. Diane has a sweet sweet spirit and we love her very much. She spoke life, health, and strength over our boys and look at what God did and is doing. Thanks Rev. Diane! This prayer will always have a place in Ryan and Evan's lives.
Here are some of the books that we read most frequently. Their other books (they have tons--you can never have too many books!) are on a shelf in their closet. This pic of Mommy & Daddy P was taken at my amazing surprise baby shower thrown for us by the women of our church. Some of R&E's toys are in the storage cube that doubles as a seat for their puppies. BTW, these Leapfrog puppies are fantastic! You can program them to say and spell your child's name. You can also program it to sing about your child's favorites. When Evan hears Scout say his name, he just smiles and smiles. Ryan looks at it like, How do you know my name! Characters these two are I tell you! :) There are a few things I want to add to their nursery, but overall it's pretty much done. Thanks so much to Daddy P who primed and painted the room, scraped the glow in the dark stars off the ceiling, and put up the chair rail that I was convinced we had to have. You did a great job, Babe!
