Carsyn Turns 23 Months

Filed Under: Family Tagged With: carsyn

It is crazy that in less then a month I will have a 2 year old. After that I will probably only do these types of post every 3-6 months.  Him being immobile sure helps me get these photos. I long for the day when he will run away from me so I won’t take his photos.

I kind of gave an update on him last week after his doctors appointment. Nothing much new going on this month. He has been on the medicine for 1 week and I am already starting to see little differences. The doctor said three weeks, but I have noticed his muscle are more relaxed and not as tight. His physical therapist noticed it too. Praying that we continue to see improvements and that we find the right dose.

Still on my to-do list: a gallery wall and living wall, but I'm a bit nervous since I'm not exactly good at that. One day, though... I also dream of getting a projector to display scenes on the big white wall.

I'm going to miss my Halloween decorations when they come down - time to start scouring thrift stores for Christmas decor, I suppose! 🎄
Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I am so grateful to have my own library/plant space. 

It will be a few more months/weeks before it’s complete but I’m proud of how far it’s come. 

What I have left to do still: Get the top for my desk and seal it. Organize my craft stuff and put it on the shelves under my desk. Figure out my gallery wall above my desk. Order my @wallygrowplanters for my living wall. And of course buy more books and plants. 😆

It may not be perfect or Instagram “worthy” but it’s mine and I’m proud of all the time and effort we have put into it. The rug arrived today. I am so pleased with how it is coming together. Thanks so much to my cousin @r_holz9 for all her decorating advice and @em.e.hicks for putting up with my million text messages. IKEA bookcases will be here tomorrow. Then need to paint them and start moving my books out there. After I finish with that, I will work on my living plant wall. Not sure when my low bookcases and desk will be built, but it will happen eventually. Almost there. 🙌🏼
