The Whyte House: cribs: 3 year old boys room.

aiden would like to welcome you to his room!

i've been trying to get it all together.

there are still some things missing,

but here it is!

some things are removed periodically.

like his books.

he had a bookshelf, but it wasn't being utilized very

well and to be honest if i see an empty shelf,

i throw things on top.

plus he's back to chewing on things again,

so it's easier to remove the whole basket

during bedtime.

you'll find this same look in my niece's room in missouri.

i totally stole the idea from my sister-in-law, heidi.

her basket is way cuter, though. :)

i've said this before, but i feel i have to give her credit anytime i show something that she came up with!!

i unintentionally decorated in 3's.

3 pins.

3 photos(collage of aiden's 3 year shots, papa & granny

last fall and his "just born" shot from the hospital).

3 signs on his shelf(in another photo)

3 things hanging on his wall.

if you weren't reading in march,

i found the vintage bowling pins in a store

in st. joseph, mo.

intended purpose:

photography.

i'm sure i will borrow them later on, too.

i used emily's red door for a shoot yesterday,

and then we attached it to her wall last night.

the wall art--the sailboat one was PAINTED by aiden.

i added the sailboat and waves.

we did that with the cousins in missouri.

the sailor hat was justin's from when

he was active duty.

the number 3 was recently used in aiden's

3 year photos.

this is in no way, shape, or form a quality photo,

but i wanted to show the red table.

the table is in a horrible spot,

used frequently for climbing

(it has a little red chair that is currently in the basement,

due to climbing issues in his room).

aiden's 3 has been pulled and torn up

a tad, angering his mother.

and the sailor hat has been found in his bed.

another issue with having a little boy.

however, the table is passed down from my mom

and i am fighting to keep it in his room.

therefore, i take down the wall art half the

time instead of moving the table out.

my mom's grandfather made it for her in the late 1940's.

story was that he made it by hand,

during his battle with cancer, with only one working eye.

he had planned on giving it to her before christmas

and my grandma had him hold on to it at his home.

my mom's house caught on fire and they lost

everything in the fire.

thankfully, the table wasn't there.

so it is something that will continue to be passed down,

from atteberry's, to kennedy's, to anderson's/whyte's,

and so on.

aiden's bed is still a work in progress.

my mom made him the blanket before he was born.

it's bigger than a toddler size,

but not big enough for a twin.

more a throw size.

he loves it and carries all over the house.

he has a big gray plush blanket,

but it's getting too warm for it now.

and we are searching for a new curtain for his closet.

he had a nautical one,

but because of the poop incident on halloween/justin's birthday last year,

(you can check the archives for that bad boy)

we had to toss it.

his bed, of course, houses his best friends;

woody and buzz.

the shelf holds aiden's favorite phrase...
"to infinity and beyond", which he says numerous times,
daily(the chalkboard was an etsy find).
...'no parking' sign from missouri (we have the other parking sign in our room over our bed--it says 'faculty and staff parking only').
...a photo from my stepdad's 79th birthday this past january.
aiden loved helping pop blow out his candles.

and now aiden says goodnight!! it's naptime at the whyte house.
