Redecorating the Boy's Room...Once Again!

Yes, I understand my child is 2 years old and has been through many different bedroom decor. As a matter of fact, more than mommy and daddy's room! He started out with his green and blue turtle theme as a baby. Then when we moved into our new house, we converted his crib into a toddler bed. The new theme was cars and trucks. He was totally in live with that. Actually, when we asked him what new bedroom theme he wanted this time, he replied, "CARS!". But...I am a mean mommy that likes change and decorating. When we went to Ikea to find ourselves something new for both rooms, we fell in love with the idea of a forest type of theme. After searching all over the internet for ideas to go with his new bedding, I ran across this adorable monkey sticker for his wall. I must say, it suits him well. As soon as he saw me putting the monkeys on the wall, he started making monkey sounds that I had no idea he even knew! Now, I must find more monkey things to make it feel more complete. Yes, I am addicted to decorating. I will admit that much.

Daddy is a Shark, Mommy!

I can't believe how huge Brady's imagination has grown!


For Christmas, Grandma Johnson bought swimming lessons for him. We go to the next town over to a hotel with a swimming pool and watch him get super excited to get in the pool. Granted, his first day wasn't as great. He screamed at Daddy to not make him go in the water. Only for Daddy to find himself fighting Brady to get out of the water. It's become Brady's new passion in life. He brings it up at LEAST every other day. It's funny. Because he will actually say, "I go swimmin' on Tuesday!". I think it's hilarious he mocks us so detailed like that. He loves splashing and kicking in the water. But, I think his favorite thing is to blow bubbles at the surface. Last week, when lessons were over, Chad handed me Brady from the pool while he got out on the other end. As I was holding Brady all bundled up in his towel, he yelled, "(*GASP*) Look Mommy! Daddy is a shark!". Every woman standing next to me stopped bundling their little ones to giggle at him. He has quite the imagination!

The "Class".
"Everyone kick as fast as you can!" (Brady has this one down!)

He must always have a boat in hand to stay in the pool.


Blowing bubbles. He has also brought this home and now blows bubbles in everything!

Bonzai!

He finishes every night with a sundae from McD's as his prize for being a good boy. Too bad it makes a disaster out of him every time!
