our son goes to a Montessori Preschool... and I can't imagine them NOT encouraging us to do this at home... i'm all over this (on ebay) now... and i would love to find the letter TRACING too...

I'll chime in.... our son has always been a REALLY good sleeper. it wasnt until he was 10 months... that the 12 or 1 am wake up started to be a problem. he's not waking up because he's starving.....

So funny that this is the "hot" topic - we just transitioned our 2 year old into his big boy bed this wk/end. it's a twin, no headboard, old frame, took the wheels off so it's lower to the ground....

We had a problem w/the blinds.... Our little guy would reach out and pull the wooden blinds out of the window. They were heavy too... i would say he was 15 months by the time i started to worry he...

i love that crib - where did you find/inherit/get it? very nice colors. how was the transition to the big bed? we're currently battling the big bed right now.

i LOVE this room, you've done a wonderful job! i want to do the same, or similar w/the metal (i can never remember what that's called) was that very hard to affix to the doors.

this is fantastic! we will definitely be doing this for christmas. we already use paper bags & the baby colors them. but i never thought of doing bows like this. thanks for t...

anybody able to find out if it's availabe for purchase? and how much?

Crew Julie... i can see how it would have been helpful a month ago. THANKFULLY for me tho... he's going tomorrow for his first day & I'm SO excited to do this tomorrow morning now!!!!

we love this one... (the video) whenever it comes on you wind up singing it all day. will definitely check out the cd.

monthcalledmae... what a GREAT idea w/the tracing of the hands as gift tags! we recycled grocery bags and our little colored in red & green and that was our christmas wrapping... this year we'll d...

that is SO fantastic!!! i will be filing that away in my "someday" mind file. great idea.

i love the pb one... but $600 for a BOOKCASE for my baby's room? yeah... i'd much rather try to make one myself w/a lazy suzan & maybe two old corner bookcases (if i can find em cheap enough on cr...

i love the skulls... but think this idea is fantastic w/the other suggestions of stripes... or flowers or fleur de lis in a girls room.

i love it also...

I think the contrast in the red zig zag is GREAT. the first things that babies can focus on are BOLD big patterns. I would also change the blinds and not just because I feel they ar...

i go w/sophie... since our lil guy LOVED HER... i also will make a blanket (or buy a handmade on etsy) and put them all in a basket along w/the homeopathic remedies and organic baby goodies i found...

that platform idea is great... (and the room is gorgoues) and when we upgrade our lil guy to a single bed from the crib (he's getting curious about climbing in & out).... i wanted to put his twin b...

I agree that this could definitely work... black and whites are the most striking things visually for a wee'un when they can't see so well in the beginning. I really like it.

we didn't use a bumper... i was nervous about him getting trapped because he really rolls around a lot. we used the breathable mesh thingie and i DID love it (altho it was tough finding the green ...
