The Mighty Thomas has Fallen

Those of you that have been to the house, or have received our pictures in the past, are familiar with Gavin's bedroom. Three years ago, when we were moving him out of the nursery and into his big boy room, I made him a Thomas the Tank Engine room. Okay, I admit, I may have gone a little overboard for a two year old, but it was fun. And, he loved it. But, alas, two year olds grow up. And, Thomas the Tank Engine does not stay cool forever.
Gavin has not liked Thomas for a while now, and he has on occasion asked me when I was going to make him a new room. I know, my own fault for setting the precedent. Anyway, it all came to a head as I was doing Isabelle's big girl room. Gavin wanted a new one also. So, I promised him he could have one, if he could decide on what he wanted it to be. Ha! Trickery to buy myself time. A five year old making a lasting decision. Yeah, right.

We started with a Star Wars room, which quickly changed into a Lego Star Wars room as some of the characters from the real Star Wars might be to scary to sleep with. I of course, did not buy any paint, as we then decided on a Power Rangers room, which some how quickly became Pokemon. Then, after much back and forth, Gavin and I decided on the perfect room that he loves, I LOVE, and most important, he won't grow out of in two weeks. The Boston Red Sox!

So, Thomas came down. And the transformation began. Yellow stripes turned red. Gray walls turned sky blue. Where once there were train tracks, there is now a nice green field. And finally, he's ready to play ball! Gavin loves it, and I love that we have a Red Sox room in the house. Guess it's the closest thing I am going to get to a game room for a while.
