Changing the Laundry

You know I love redecorating rooms.  My kids are always changing it up and switching around because it's fun and it's a good way to clean and purge.  For now, though, they're all settled where they want to be...until Golda moves back downstairs, Xanthe moves to Freestone's room and the two boys take over the attic.  But that's later.  For now, all we needed to do was get Ptolemy out of the laundry room.  Although I love having a baby who smells like a dryer sheet after naps, it was getting crowded in there with all his "tuffed amimals."  One day, I had the fabulous idea of moving PT to the downstairs laundry room, which is still unfinished.  I resisted the urge to paint it a fun color.  I just used a carpet remnant and a cool tapestry poster we had and created an instant nursery, minus the crib.  The crib was more of a challenge.  It is designed to be a half-inch wider than an average door frame, just to make you wonder if you really could fit it through the door without taking it apart if you just tried harder.  You can't.  When I finally started taking it apart, Ptolemy was worried.  He kept saying, "You broken my kib, Mom!  You broken my kib!"  I reassured him that it was for his "special new room" so he could sleep downstairs like Freestone!  As soon as the crib was put back together and the tuffed amimals were in their places, Tolly was excited.  When we picked up Ruby from school, he kept telling her about his "kib in a new woom, Bibs!"  (He says Bibs now instead of Weebee.  So cute!)  It's not fancy, but it's clean and new and quiet, and so is my working laundry room.  Why didn't I think of this sooner?  I just hope I don't get any more good ideas.  I still need time to recover from brokening the kib.
