It Doesn't Have To Be Perfect To Be Beautiful!!!!!



First he took over the furniture....... then the breakfast room! My imperfect little baby has taken over the house. My once beautiful "French Country" breakfast area a.k.a. the place we eat is now the baby's play area. The table & chairs are gone, replaced with a huge soft rug to soften the blow when he falls over. I have toys galore in this room right off the kitchen & family room. It is not pictured but I even now have one of those big slides in there too. It is almost always messy!!







His royal heiness also enjoys lurking in the kitchen & opening the baby drawer so he can throw all of his bottles & sippy cups all over the floor. He can open gates or climb over them. He has also been able to figure out every single baby proofing device to keep him out of drawers & cabinets. Stinker. My mom likes to sit in this rocker that is supposed to be in his room but is out here now because this is where he likes to be. So..... it is now very imperfect but it works so beautifully for our family.

Your house still looks so pretty and your mom so young! Thanks for sharing and I noticed that in the photo that i have in my post today you can see the book I'm sending you with your address labeled and I freaked because I didn't want anyone to see your addy and come and get you.

I enlarged the photo and no worries, you cannot see it! I'll ship it tomorrow!

heart you!

What a perfect use of the space!

I think it is great that you have the space (even if it once was a breakfast nook!) to have a little slide indoors. In our area that would be such a blessing because it often is too icky to play outside.

Yes, my baby sure does think the drawer is full of goodies for him. He has a whole room for himself & still he sneaks to the kitchen. They always love the kitchen.
Thank you for the book Nester, I am looking forward to it.
