A bed, shelves, and snow. Oh my!

Tyler's first night in his big boy bed did not go very well. He fell out once (we had pillows on the floor) and got up numerous times during the night. I was very tired the next day. The second night went much better. He only got up one time around 6:00 because he thought it was time to get up. He really likes his bed though. He now wants me to change his diaper on his bed which is fine with me. Usually when I say the word diaper he would throw a fit. Now it's exciting! It's on his bed! yay! The cats are also enjoying his bed. For some reason they both like sleeping on the pillow. I don't care if they sleep on the comforter but the pillow is off limits. Libby actually slept on the comforter during Tyler's nap yesterday. I can see why she would want to be with him like that. I mean, he's so nice to her. Always pulling her tail, pushing her around, her throwing his body on top of her.

I thought I would show the three pictures I took of Tyler and his bed so you can get an idea of Tyler's personality.

Picture #1 - I tell Tyler I want to take a picture of him on his bed. He's all excited and climbs up onto it and sits there. I aim the camera and tell him to say cheese. He says, "noooo!" and throws himself onto the bed.

Picture #2 - I figure that's the best I'm going to get so I walk away and Tyler starts repeating, "cheese, cheese, cheeeese, cheeeesssseee" wanting me to come back and take a picture. I'm pretty sure the same thing is going to happen again but I take a picture anyway. He does well.

Picture #3 - Yay, we got a good picture! So, we're done right? Nope! Now he's all, "how about I sit on my pillow and you take another picture?"

I tell him no more pictures and he gets upset. sigh. Now that we have a cars and trucks theme for his room we can find stuff for the walls and get it decorated.

Moving on. Our basement was really lacking storage which was causing our stuff to sit around in large piles. It was a mess. After we got back from Christmas, Dan went to work on building some shelves. He did an awesome job and they really help out and keep that side of the basement nice and organized.

All the stuff has been moved out and the wood as been moved in.

Empty beautiful shelves!

Now filled with stuff (mostly baby). This area was looking nice and open until we had to move Tyler's crib and chair down there. Oh well, at least we have the space to store it!

More empty shelves!

This is holding a lot of my kitchen overflow (there's more on the way too!) and some other random things. (More kid overflow too!)

All three shelves

All three with stuff!

Hey look! More pictures!

And here is a random picture. I looked at our backyard today and noticed this hole in the snow. What's weird about it is there are no foot/animal prints around it. But something had to make that impression. What was it and where did it go?
