One Big Cowboy!

Last night my little cowbay slept in his big boy bed for the first time! He did a great job. Here's a preview of his new cowboy room.

This wall has a toy rifle displayed that was Jeff's when he was little. Then there's a place to hang his hat, boots, rope, and handcuffs. The barrel below was made by Jeff's dad and Jeff used it as his laundry hamper while growing up.

The previous owners had the room painted like this. It's kind of a mountain scene and it actually worked out perfectly for our cowboy theme. The little valence has cowboy hat lights strung along it. There's the rocking horse from grandma and grandpa Heaton, that inspired the room.
I did a little painting that's supposed to look like Rex on a horse. I found the bookshelf on clearance at Wal-mart for $25 and added some bins.

Here's the best part - the bed. I drew up an idea and my dad cut it out, my mom painted wood lines, and I stained it. Tah-dah!

Here's the view when you walk in the room. Yee-haw! Now I just hope Rex likes it as much as I do!

Here are some of Rex's latest tricks and incidents:

1) While my parents were here we did a lot of home improvements projects, including painting. Rex was really good about staying away from the bucket, until he couldn't resist anymore. I was painting the bathroom and when I looked down he had dipped the entire toilet brush into the paint and was ready to help. Nasty!

2) Rex says, "Burrrr!" whenever we go outside. He gets that it means it's cold. He had his 18 month appointment the other day. He was really good while the doctor checked him out and when the doctor put the stethascope on his chest he said, "Burr!" I thought it was so cute. When he says it it sounds more like, "Boooh-aahhh!"

3) Rex's new stats are head: 97%, height: 97%, weight: 25%. He's our tall, skinny guy.
