As Michael and I painted Hunter's room, I thought, "Wow, we are putting in a lot of effort to make his room amazing and to think that he won't even be able to or understand how to appreciate it...so...why are we working so hard?" It was kind of a funny thought, but at the same time, it was SO true. By the time we are done his room will definitely be the best decorated and cared for room in the house. Michael then said something that made me think a little differently. He told me that we have to make his room the best because he goes into too many homes where the kids are sleeping on mattresses on the ground with their mom, and mom's boyfriend, etc. because the mom is too worried about her drugs, and her pitiful life to provide a good home for her child. That really made me stop and think...we want to provide the best home we can, and we will...and although he may not know it right away, or for many years to come, he will eventually know.

I like that thought from Michael. It is so true. It took me five months to pick out bedding and furniture for Hannah's room and even though it won't be as awesome and homemade as Hunters (ok lets face it--if I homemade Hannah's room it would look like what michael described haha) I still put a lot of care into everything. The most important thing is that Hunter is coming to a home where there is love, and safty, and happiness, and a happy marriage, and security. He might not appreciate the care you are taking into the decorating but he will sure appreciate the special feeling in your home from the very start! Did I ever show you bree's room for her baby girl. It is pretty intense. http://breeandbrandonsbliss.blogspot.com/search/label/hot%20pink%20nursery
