Daddy starts the nursery

The final theme is Under The Sea.

Dan's painting the sea and the sand. Once they're complete and the paint is dry we can start on the critters.

We bought a cool lit of decals that includes sea horses, plenty of fishies, a huge dolphin, a whale and a funky octapiddle - there's even a treasure chest - it's a really cool kit. Can't wait to get the decals up on the wall!

The the crowning glory is two fishie mobiles (flying fish, if you will) and a ridiculously huge soft toy sting ray, fondly called Stevie, after Mr Irwin (see below) that will all hang from the ceiling in a magnificent festoon. Hopefully they don't scare Monty and give him nightmares otherwise we'll be swapping rooms.

Here's Dan in action, or at least pretending to be in action - note there's no paint on that brush cos I made him do a post-painting pose just for the camera.

Thought it was only fair to have some photographic record that it was Dan that did all of the hard work and not me - in fact I didn't even supervise, as I was downstairs in the office working!

Will post more pics as the room comes along...
