Where the Wild Things Are

Every night before bed we read books with Jack.  He tends to have his favorites that we read over and over... and over again.  But Jacob decided one night that he was going to choose one book and make it their special book together.  Where the Wild Things Are quickly became a new favorite and it was a book that just the two of them enjoyed together.

So when it came time to decorate Jack's new room, Jacob wanted to try to incorporate the book into the theme.  When he first mentioned creating a mural for the wall I was hesitant.  I couldn't figure out how we were going to pull it off, and I had no idea how we would ever get it finished in time to move Jack into his room before the baby arrived.

Enter Aunt Christy.  The amazing Aunt Christy.  She came in and saved the day.  Not only did she create an amazing mural, but she did it in record time.  We are so thankful that she gave up so many hours of her time to help complete this project!  Jack absolutely loves the mural.  If you ask him, he'll gladly show you the Wild Things.  While you walk up the stairs towards his room he'll even roar a terrible roar and gnash his terrible teeth.  He'll also tell you who painted the mural for him.  Well, he tries to say Christy.  Sometimes its Di-Di or maybe Ti-Ti.  I can't tell.  But, I know what he means, and he says it with a smile.

Thank you, Christy!  You did an amazing job!  Jack will love this for many, many years.
