Baby Jack's nursery is going to be decorated in Jack and the Beanstalk! I had been wanting a fairy tale theme that wasn't girly, but couldn't think of anything besides dragons. Thanks to Katherine for the amazing idea that I never would have thought of on my own.
So now comes the part where everyone helps me find ideas. Love you!

Baby Jack's Nursery
What should I do for Baby Jack's nursery? I'm trying to think of something cute and clever, but nothing is coming. I'd like it to have a book tie-in, but that's not a requirement. The color I'd like to use is green, I think. Any suggestions?

A List for Tuesday
Five Things I Learned This Weekend
1. Eating lunch out with Chris alone is more fun than eating lunch out with Chris and Dutch.
2. Dutch doesn't care if it's my birthday, he'll make as many (or more) messes as usual.
3. I am loved by lots of people and that makes me lucky.
4. Getting flowers is more fun when they're a surprise.
5. Dutch is now getting very into soft and silky things. (My mom-in-law got me a new bathrobe for my birthday and Dutch has been rubbing my arm every chance he gets.)

My Husband the PA
Chris had an emergency surgery yesterday and got home a little after 10pm. Dutch was still awake and calling for Daddy. Chris, being the sweet sucker that he is, went and rescued him. It seems neither of my boys could go to bed without spending some time together.
I got to thinking how grateful I am that Chris decided to be a Physican's Assistant instead of a doctor. The schooling was shorter and cheaper. He gets to change medical fields whenever he feels like it, and he doesn't have the responsibility of a doctor. No running a clinic, no malpractice insurance, no being on-call. Well, he is on-call, but he only has to go in if there's a surgery (like yesterday), whereas his boss has to go in and see any person that walks in the door. It's very rare for Chris to have a night later than 7pm, but Dr. Warner routinely doesn't get home until 10pm or later. While I might hate his sporadic hours, I'm very grateful he still only works 40 to 50 hours a week instead of the 80 to 100 that most doctors work, especially residents. All in all I am very grateful that this is the path we chose.
If you're thinking of going into medicine, I'm telling you, being a PA is the way to go!

Hugs For Gaga and PopPop
He was saying "cheese" in both the smiling pictures, that's why his smile looks a little weird.

Photo Catch-Up
So the Christmas photos are all on the video camera and I don't know how to upload those, so they'll have to wait for Chris to have some extra time. In the meantime, here are some other pictures I've neglected to put up.
Dutch at Grandpa Morgan's for Thanksgiving
He has recently commandeered my pink blankie and uses it as his own now.
Eating not one but two suckers at a time. Chris put suckers in the wooden tree that we have for suckers and Dutch went to town!
He got really excited to watch a movie while sitting in his stroller. Ironic, since he won't ever get into it voluntarily otherwise!
