You may be wondering why I'm including this in my project blog about knitting. Well here's the thing, next to designing knitwear and jewelry, I love to decorate. Nothing expensive, just what I can do with Pier I, Target and the like. So when I finally decided AJ was old enough to move upstairs, I decorated Andrea's old room for him. It was really fun to fill it with cute stuff from Target and haul out all Andrea's stuffed animals that I saved all these years. It was great to see the room come back to life. The first time I showed it to AJ he took a walk through and said "all done" and left. The next time went better, so last night when he stayed over I was hoping he was ready for the new space. It actually went well, he slept like a lamb. Me, I was awake all night, not because of AJ but this thing called a monitor. There it was all set up on my night table flashing and blinking away like a beacon. It wasn't till I unplugged it at 4am that I caught a few winks. It's a handy device, one that I'm sure I'll get used to with time. Funny thing about it is that I feel like he's watching me as I watching him. So I'm monitoring AJ and he's monitoring me...the daily monitor.
