Normally planning and completing a decorating task is beyond words stressful. I am one of those people who enjoys it to begin with and then despises it by the end. None the less, this project has been completely different. Maybe because it is a playroom and playrooms aren't intended to be stressful? Or maybe it is because I have had Little Man's awesome artistic help to get me through.
I want this space to be created by him as well as designed by me. So, this is how I decided to do it...
P-L-A-Y-R-O-O-M.
Those eight letters brought so much joy to Little Man and it was so much fun to watch. We bought 9" letters from Michael's craft store and let him finger paint all of them! Unfortunately, D was working the day I did this and since I had to keep an eye on my rainbow fingered monster I didn't get any pictures of the actual finger painting...but the end result is wonderful. Look out, Picasso.
Along with the letters getting painted...I also got painted, Little Man got painted as well has his lips, tongue and all the way through that little digestive system of his. Three words for you...ew. ew. ew! Thank goodness for non-toxic labeling AND for parents who calm your nerves even when you have read that paint is non-toxic and still want to call them 'just to be sure' :) {Thanks guys, you are the best!}
There is still plenty of work to be done but we are getting there. I feel completely satisfied knowing that Little Man can be proud knowing that he 1. helped create his own play space and 2. did his painting all on his own...no assistance necessary. And proud he is...take a look at this beauty of a picture I captured today. I absolutely adore this little guy.
I will update more as I get the room a little more put together. I can not wait to see it all finished.
