Wiggle Worm & Construction

Dear Avacado,

You have become quite the wiggle worm!  I feel you moving around quite a bit during the mornings and later at night.  Yesterday we were at Court (such a serious place) and while the Judge was talking you decided to start moving all around.  You were moving so much that it was almost like a tickle and I wanted to laugh out loud so you and I should probably work on your Court Room Etiquette. :)

At night you start to move a lot when its bedtime and I am laying in bed trying to get to sleep!  I think you may have your days and nights mixed up at the moment OR you are trying to get me used to being awake later at night.

This week is also a big week because work is being done on your room.  I stripped your closet on Sunday and patched all the holes in the walls.  Tonight I intend on sanding it and seeing if it needs another coat of putty.  If it doesn't - then the plan is to paint it tonight and apply the second coat tomorrow before I head to Boston.  We are also removing trim and painting your room this weekend in preparation for the contractor to come and add the bead board next week.  Your room will be painted a nice shade of gray/blue on the two tall walls and we are not certain just yet if we will do the short walls in the same color or go up the color card one shade to make it a little lighter.  Either way - the bead board will be white as will your nursery furniture so I think your room will look fantastic!

I finally picked the bedding for your crib and it has a whale motif.  It's from Pottery Barn Kids and I love how it has so many shades of blue in it but also uses different patterns and textures for the little fish and the whale fins.  I picked up the lamp shade last week and everyone who has seen it agrees that it is adorable.


This is a picture of the bedding - its not the best picture but you can see the quilt and the skirt and the little pillow well enough.  The little pillow will be going on the guest bed to help tie everything in together as your room will still be the guest room for a little while (or until I  move my office to a new location or we get a new house!).

That's it for this week -

xoxo
Erin
