Children change and grow so quickly and their rooms along with them. The memory of our eldest child's room when we first put in the toddler bed is already hazy. The best way to keep those memories is to document your child's room along the way in photos and/or video. If you're like me, you've looked at old photos of yourself from childhood and wished you could see a little more of your childhood bedroom in all its iterations.
Irene was lucky enough to have some beautiful photos taken of her son Kiet's nursery by a friend. Kiet now sleeps in a toddler bed but Irene still has these lovely images of his crib and nursery to look at when she's feeling nostalgic. Beautiful nursery, wasn't it?

So True! We're about to make our son's room a bigger boy room and I think it's a great idea to take pictures of the room, some of the toys he used to play with, and little details. My friend recently did this for her child's room which prompted me to do the same.
My kids nursery has taken on many many renovations over the years. First the nursery I brought my kirst son home to. Then he moved out to a big boy room down the hall to make room for his little brother. That little baby got bigger and it became his big boy room. Now they are 7 and 9 and in that same old room together. This fall, when we put up the bunk beds I painted that room for the first time since I had painted it pregnant with my first child. While it really needed to be repainted, it was sad to roll over the smuggy hand prints where the crib once stood or take out the babyish rug that I had never been able to get rid of (until the 9 year old demanded it). It is funny how attached you get to a room. I spent so many night up nursing in that room or playing tummy time with a baby on that rug. But today my two boys made a fort in the same room with the bunk beds and they are asleep in that fort curled up together. So I guess that room has some new memories to create.
