Lode ...
... a new house, family visiting and a new baby brother is quite a lot to handle for a 3 year old, but he is coping very well and that makes me a very proud mom ... yesterday when I was doing some unpacking and decorating upstairs in the bedrooms I caught him playing with my little crochet project, normally I would get angry but I forgave him, he didn't really touch the work he was just playing with the threads like a little kitten ... seeing him like this made me realize that I want to spend a whole week playing with him and giving him my complete attention, he deserves it! So I won't be posting this week anymore but come back to you next Monday with a fabulous new (Dutch) Open House Tour and a new Win on Wednesday ... which reminds me of reminding you :: do enter for last weeks WOW :: the 2 prices you can win are just the best and have such a high value ... (if not for yourselves, how about winning a price to give away to another lucky person?)
...some of our new wall decoration in Kiet's baby room, I'm very happy with the result, the beautiful wall-Safari-graphic from Wee Gallery, and the gorgeous jungle mobile from Petit Collage and 2 embroidered linen panels by me ...
He looks really happy, I remember when sofia was smaller she was always sitting between all my fabrics, playing with them, in fact she still is....good to hear you take some time for your family ;-))

He looks happy. And the new bedroom wall is awesome! :O I've posted a link to your website on my blog. Hope you don't mind.

He looks so happy and sweet. Having a second child is hard in my experience. It takes some time learning to spread that love (you feel it all the time of course but the possibilities to show it changes)The room looks lovely. Have a great time with your precious 3 year old.

wonderful...have a great time with your little Lode. our son was 3.5 when our baby girl was born and we also moved 6 weeks later. so so much for little minds to mull over, but he did well and loves both our new home + neighbourhood, and his baby sister to pieces. enjoy your quiet time, extra hugs and attention are always wonderful :)

You and I are experiencing very similar chapters in our lives right now! We just welcomed a baby girl on tuesday and her 3 1/2 year old big brother is needing lots of extra attention too. We've had a few meltdowns, but overall are doing well. Good luck with your new addition and congratulations!
