night, night light

After 2 solid days of hard labour, we finally got Arlo's bedroom finished. All we were doing was painting his room (and painting the bathroom and building furniture ) - 3 walls white, 1 wall yellow but after we did the first coats I decided that we'd painted the wrong wall yellow. Ouch.

We had. There was no two ways about it. It would have annoyed us for ages till we decided to re-paint it so we bit the bullet and did the whole thing again, this time making the back wall yellow and even though it was loads more work, it was well worth the effort, the aching limbs, the absolute exhaustion.

I thought there would be a bit of resistance from Arlo to sleeping in his new bed but he climbed in quite happily and told me he loved his new bedroom. He was particularly taken with the idea of having a pillow - he actually laughed when he saw it and took great joy in snuggling his face into it. 'A pillow!' he declared.

As I left he lifted his face and said "Good Night Mummy Mouse". "I'm a big boy now".

Ooft. Would bring a tear to a glass eye.
