Benjamin's New Room

Benjamin spent the weekend with Grandma Nancy and Granddaddy while David and I gave Benjamin's room a makeover. He's grown out of his baby room so we graduated him to a big boy room. It's going to be a cowboy/western theme. Cow print on the walls, cowboy bedding, rustic wall hangings, etc. There's a picture of his freshly painted walls below. Pay no attention to the other accessories because those will all be replaced with western ones. But so far the walls are complete. When he walked in his room on Sunday and he said "oh wow, it's boootiful". Then as we were saying our prayers in his crib that night he stopped and said "Momma, I like my new room". Whew, I'm so glad. We were set back an evening because a gallon of paint was spilled on the carpet. We had no idea how to begin to clean it up. But a couple of hours later we had it all out. The carpet was very wet, but the paint was out. Wow, it was brutal trying to clean that all up. So glad that part is over.

This first picture below is a before picture. Yes, that says Alex on the wall. This is the only picture I could find and it was taken before he was born. We thought we were going to name him Alex, but obviously we changed our minds. That name actually stayed above his crib until he was about 2 months old - until I finally replaced it with Benjamin.
