James' bedroom

James' room was due for a good cleaning and organizing. Soooo much baby stuff that needs to go to storage for a future garage sale or something. I didn't want to put his precious books in a box somewhere, so I found a great space for them in his closet! They all lined up nicely on this little built-in shelf. He has so many books! Most of them are board books, but he has some big boy books that he's almost ready for. Tio Donkey gave him some really great ones for Christmas and Tia ChaCha is a lover of books, so she keeps us supplied too :)



We still have a box full of books downstairs too, these are the ones that are well loved.



Cleaning and organizing revealed some old friends. A sock monkey from Grandma Julie.


Mickey Mouse from Tia ChaCha. (James is just recently into Mickey and friends. We now watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse on TV.)



A gang of stuffed animals. We have PLENTY now!


I've been pointing out the murals more often to James. He's aware of them, but we don't spend much time in his room.


The chest that Grandpa Larry built, with Brownie the Teddy Bear pictures above.


Ummm, a mess. These are the clothes, toys, and baby equipment that I have set aside for a garage sale or general storage.


I wonder when James will want to redecorate?!


Awwwww. The cowboy boots from Tia ChaCha. I love these. I keep them out because they are kinda decorative :)


Inside the chest: newborn clothes, knit hats, the Big Bad Baby Blanket from Tia ChaCha, birthday cards, Shutterfly calendars, and future items like soccer jerseys, fishing pole, and toys for when James is bigger.
