One friend posted a photo of her 3-year old son standing on a dining chair, naked from the waist down, with diarrhea streaming down his legs. The gist of the caption was how difficult is her life. I felt awful for her son. To my pleasure and surprise, almost every commenter told her the photo was inappropriate. She left it there, but the public chiding gave me hope.

I would also like to know what kind of paint Krystle used.

As a general comment, it is useful to give more information about the tools and materials used. Glass or plastic jars? Latex paint? Something else?

I like The Spider. Great color and a title to boot. Does anyone know of a coat rack with hangers both at the top and mid-way down? I'd like for my kids to hang up their coats independently, and kid-height hangers would be a good addition to a quality coat rack.

Despite the alleged abundance of "character," the unpainted beds were going unused and clearly unappreciated. The painted beds are being used and enjoyed. That is character.

Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but Xyron makes a line of products aimed at scrapbookers/crafters that can laminate. I have the Xyron 1200, which has been replaced by the Xyron 1255 (http://www.graphicproducts.com/laminators/xyron-xm1255/index.php). It laminates without heat or electricity - you crank a handle to send the item between rollers that apply the laminate. I love it because you can put in cartridges that apply more than just laminate. For example, the front will be laminated and the back will be a magnetic sheet, or an adhesive to make stickers. When I bought mine, the product number indicated the size, so the 1200 was 12" wide and the 700 was 7" wide. Not sure if the 1255 is also 12" wide.

It's disappointing to read negative commentary about "overindulgence." This isn't exactly a copy of the FAO Schwarz catalog. It is a lovely, simple expression of the child's current interest. The x-rays are fantastic! Will he be a veterinarian one day? Maybe, or maybe not. In the meantime, he can enjoy this wonderful space. If his interests change, so can his room.

I used those types of containers to make rattles. Fill with pinto beans, tape lid on with duct tape, kid goes crazy shaking the container, you go crazy listening to it. Good times!

Carousel Designs (http://www.babybedding.com/rocking-chair-pads) makes rocking chair pads that fit these types of rounded chairs. They don't cover the arms, but do look rather nice. I just received one and the difference in having a padded back versus just the wood is amazing.
