We're thinking about letting our son pick the colors of his room next year, but since he'll be two, I'd be more than happy to get "boo" or "geen" out of him.<br/><br/>(PS I enjoy your writing style!)

I don't think my husband would be able to name even the secondary colors! I love that room! My sons both like to sleep in younger son's room - the nursery with the frog theme: Look at Mr. Frog/Sitting on his log/Admiring the day/no trouble on the way. Yeah, I think we're due for an update, too! Older son's room is more of a jungle/rainforest, but since he does his therapy in there, he doesn't like to sleep in there anymore.

What is it?<br/><br/>And it's good he is developing an appreciation of complex colors. When I was a little bit older than your son, my favorites were the firemist shades developed by General Motors for their Cadillac automobiles.<br/><br/>Those were some of the first mass-produced metallics that changed color as you moved your head in sunlight.

My.Word. That is so flipping cute!<br/><br/>We left behind animals at our old house. I haven't painted the older child's room yet, but I know he wants lime green or red and cars. Sigh. Oh. My.Word.

I'm still waiting in fear to be told something is too babyish for my eldest (6). So far he has not noticed that his Wiggles / Thomas the Tank Engine underpants might earn the scorn of some of his more sophisticated schoolmates...
