A Happy Place - Nursery

Well, everyone, we moved. It's a beautiful little place with two little bedrooms and a whole lot of love. In the first few days of our being here, I unpacked almost every box... almost. You know when you have things that you know you'll need but don't necessarily know where to put any of it?  I have about three boxes of that stuff. The kitchen was the easy part; you need to cook? You need plates to eat off of? Better put it all away where it goes. Secretly, I'm tempted to just throw these last boxes away without even looking in them. If I haven't needed them yet, I don't need them at all... right? Maybe just a few more days of seeing them lurking in the corner will bring me to action.

One room in the house that has not been difficult to fix up is the nursery. I absolutely love spending time there. Sometimes during the day, I'll just go and sit in the cozy glider that James' parents gave to us, and bask in all the hopes and dreams that the room holds. Someday I'll be sitting in this chair, watching my darling little son play on the floor. Or I'll be rocking in this chair and reading a book for the third time in a row; his heavy, sweaty head sliding slowly into the crook of my arm as he falls asleep. Or I'll be sneaking in to check on him during his nap time only to find that he's not sleeping at all, but has climbed out of his crib and begun tearing down all his clothes from the cubby. This room will hold so many sweet moments as this little boy begins his life here in the world, and I almost can't wait to get started!

There's still a few weeks to go, however, so I'm left here to dream. In the meantime, I suppose I'll work on these silly boxes. After all, we can't have this kid know his mom's been sitting in his room this whole time not getting anything done around the house!
