My first parental mistake...

..will likely be the fact that I chose a Sock Monkey nursery theme.

At least according to the lady at Hancock Fabric. When I asked if they had any sock monkeys in the store so that I could find fabric in the right shade of red, her response went something like this...

"Oh Lawd No! And thank God we don't! Those things are scaaaarry. Please don't tell me you are doing a nursery in those creepy dolls. That child is going to need therapy....years and years of therapy."

I will admit it...they are a little bit creepy. But it's one of those things that are so ugly that they are cute, right?

So here is my attempt at a not-so-creepy sock monkey themed nursery.


















....okay, okay! I'll pay for your therapy.




Behind the scenes:
Adam was a lot of help in getting this nursery together. He wrapped letters in yarn, he put furniture together, he hung the bike and the curtains. Grandma was also a lot of help! She made the crib skirt, the blanket, and recovered the glider so that it was red and matched the room! We are so happy with the way it turned out!

We are so excited to meet you Ethan, and to show you your awesome room!!!
