Are You Sick of This Yet?

If not, then I'm sure you will be after this post! I am a bit excited about this room because it is Zander's first REAL room. So, I took a lot of pictures. Mainly all of the pictures are for the grandparents so that they can see all of the details of Zander's room.

First, I want to give you the back story. When Zander was born we were living in NC in a smaller house. At the time I wanted itty-bitty Zander to be in our room, so he slept in a cradle in our room. Then Tony left for Iraq and we moved up to OH where the kids and I shared a room at my Mom's house (crazy I know). When Tony got home and we moved back to NC Zander got into his "own room." However his room was also the office and by this time we knew we would be moving soon so we did not decorate his room at all. However, for Christmas, his grandparents bought him a bunch of jungle decor for his room. Then we moved to OH and again we knew where we were staying was not a permanent place so we did not decorate. Finally, we moved and my two year old "baby" gets his first room! So, even though I kind of wanted to do something a little more grown-up, we already had all of the stuff for a jungle room. It doesn't matter because he really loves his animals.

Without further ado, here is his room:
The brown is not showing up as the actual color. It is more of a chocolate brown and not so much orange. Here is a close-up shot of his giraffe:

Hey, wait a minute! Who snuck into the shot. We better take a closer look:

What a ham!

What a cute looking room! I love the colors and the pictures of the animals on the walls! Are those decals for the walls or are they painted on? I love seeing how kids rooms are decorated!

I LOVE IT! I don't think it is babyish at all! In fact Preston is in love with animals too! Zander and Hannah look so much a like-they have the same smile. I love seeing house pictures. Keep them coming!

Cool room Zander! Trace said "Hey, he got animals on wall", so he definitely approves! Don't feel bad, Trace's room is also our (really big) closet room, so he knows how Zander feels. Hopefully this summer we get the closet room turned into his bedroom for good!

The animals are great, and if you want a dude's perspective, I think the vine is cool too! And trust me, when we eventually get a big house I'll be doing the same thing to you all! LOL
