The Baby Home

This post is simply because I appear never to have blogged about the interior of the kids' space, so here you go!
3 years of asking for bath toys for Christmas has paid off - we've got more than we know what to do with! The kids got lots of bubble bath for Christmas this year, so bath time is more fun than ever before :-) See the IKEA crocodile, Mom and Dad? At least now we don't have to freak out when they stand up.

The changing room - the single greatest thing our architect did for us. EVERYTHING you could possibly need is in these drawers, and there are cupboards full of clothes on the other side. Now all we need is to find some way of stopping Potato from slamming the drawers into your shins as you are changing somebody!

The boys' room - LOVE these 2 cots, both were donated since we moved in. We have 3 cots and Potato's "big boy bed" in here at the moment, so the cupboard in the corner may be sacrificed to space considerations in the near future.

The girls' room - with spare cot for that baby girl that will come eventually! Both the girls are on proper beds now, which they think is great. And heaven help you if you put the wrong blanket/teddy bear on their bed - my Princess had a temper tantrum the other day simply because her bear was on Chipmunk's bed.

The lounge (play room side) - this space is also great. The kids are where you can see them, and part of the action, but you can also sit on the couches to the left and have some tea. The wall of windows is one of my other favorite parts of the house - you feel much less cramped with all that light pouring in!
