It's A Boy!

Well, yes it was a boy...obviously. It has just taken me almost a year to really accept it. Not that I wasn't thrilled to find out that we were expecting a sweet little boy, because I was! I felt overwhelmed with joy the day Shaun and I found out that God had blessed us with a son. However, I am not a fan of boy stuff. I wanted his room to be soft and sweet with greens and yellows. Poor Shaun embrassed everything pink and purple when we found out Lillian was a girl, but I fought against everything that was not pastle when it came to decorating John Whitten's room. 

Obviously Shaun wanted to paint John Whitten's nursery blue and plaster the walls with Auburn pennants and every sports related item you could think of, but because of our moving/renting situation we decided to just hold off until we knew what our next step was going to be. Now that we are in our new and permanent house we decided to really give our sweet "baby" boy a little boy room. I told Shaun that I was fine with it as long as it was a sweet blue and not an overwhelming blue, blue. He picked out the perfect shade and had the room painted in a few hours. I have to admit that it looks really good and matches all of his green and yellow decor.  

Lillian sat and watched Shaun the whole time

and she even got to help a little

In everything we do there is always an opportunity to learn. Shaun stopped painting a spent ten minutes going over Lillian's letters with her. Reason eight million why I think he is amazing Daddy!

the finished product!

we spotted this in and antique store in Homewood. Shaun loved it and thought it would be perfect in John Whitten's room. It is his first "real" boy decor...Shaun loves it.

For unto us a chld is born, to us a son is given.
