The big-boy room

So the trick to turning back time is to put the boy in a double-size bed.

Saturday night when I went in to check on him, he was fast asleep, almost swallowed up by a sea of blue comforter. He looked very small, very young on such a big bed.

Anyway, my prediction was correct. The boy took to the new bedroom immediately. Not a peep at bedtime, just went to sleep.

I think my master stroke was moving the old nightlight from the nursery into the new room. The boy noticed that immediately and was very struck by the fact that the light had moved.

Here's how it looks (the room, not the nighlight) …

 

Now the flash accentuates the blue … OK, yes, it really is that blue.

 

Just right. Sorta.

 

Bean bag. Cars. Shit, we got it all.

 

Blue. Very blue.

 

But he digs it.
