Our son is two this year (almost three) and since his first Christmas we've put a small 4 foot tree in his room with soft plush ornaments on it. We found that we already had quite a few soft ornaments in our collection but you can find them anywhere - Crate & Barrel, World Market, Target... He knows that that is HIS tree and he can touch it and decorate it and play with those ornaments, and that the fancy tree with fragile ornaments in the living room is for looking only.

I would say it's a necessity. We didn't like the conventional rocker/glider so we bought an antique metal rocking lawn chair which we had sandblasted and painted a cream color, then I then made a matching cushion. We LOVE this chair. It's lightweight and we can move it all around the room. Now that our guy is 2 we still use the rocker a few times a day for our many many storytimes. Sometimes I sit and enjoy my own book while the little one plays on the floor. When we no longer have a need for a rocker in his room, we will move it to the porch! http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/my-room-frederickst-louis-ms-125858 Is a Glider or Rocker a Nursery Necessity?

My birthday is on the 15th and this post just about sums up everything. My parents have always done an awesome job with separating my birthday from Christmas, going as far as "no Christmas tree till after your birthday," but I love a tree so I requested we skip that rule. And my mom would leave out the happy birthday banner till after Christmas - for baby Jesus :) On my 30th birthday I was 8 months pregnant, had to work, then see my allergist and get my allergy shot, see my OB, then go to my last lamaze class. My amazing husband met me at class with a very giant chocolate cake and pretty much saved the day for me! Now my mom's birthday is on the 4th of July - she always gets the day off, BBQ and fireworks.

How exciting to scroll through ohdeedoh and see my babe's room again! Frederick is now 19 months old and his room has evolved a little bit. We now have a vintage flat top desk behind his crib which we found at a church rummage sale for $2, and his red radio flyer "car car" sits in the corner where the stroller once was when he's not cruising the sidewalks. We still love his room! And when he's ready for a big boy bed we have a cast iron twin bed picked out that will fit right in. Thank you so much for featuring it!

I almost put an offer on a house in this neighborhood but, alas, it was taken off the market the day we went for a second viewing. It even had a gravel roof! We ended up buying a brick home in south city St. Louis, which we love and has a full basement (which are rare in Ridgewood). I recently saw an identical but wider hutch at Treasure Aisles For $100 and ever since have been kicking myself for not buying it! You guys have done an amazing job.
