Griffin absolutely LOVED it! He had fun tossing it here and there ... playing catch with it ... you name it ... he did it. Then he decided he wanted to hang it in his bedroom.
When I was pregnant with Griffin we decided to decorate his bedroom with an airplane theme. We thought it would be fun to decorate that way because Mike is into airplanes and we thought Griffin might like them too.
That's an understatement.
Our house if full of airplanes, blimps, helicopters ... along with trains, tractors and such. But he ALWAYS goes back to the airplanes.
Over the last four years we've added a few more fun things to his bedroom ...
For instance ... his Nana & Pop brought this cool remote control airplane that no longer would work. A friend asked Pop if he would like to have it and he said yes ... he knew just the boy who would like it. When they visited us this past fall the boys hung it up on his ceiling. Griffin thinks it's the coolest thing.
And now ... we've added the blimp to the ceiling.
Pretty soon we may need air traffic control stationed in his bedroom.
You might also notice the posters on the wall. Griffin attended his first Sun 'N Fun Airplane Fly-In (in Florida) when he was only 2 months old in April of 2005. We've gone almost every year since ... and I have posters from each year. I really need to get those framed and hung up.
In the picture above you can see the crib is still up. It's been almost a year since we've took the railings down and made it into the daybed for him. He's getting so tall, he's just about to grow out of his bed. This bed will actually turn into a single bed, too. We're trying to decide if that's the way we want to go or maybe bunk beds. I feel he's still a bit young for bunk beds. We'll just have to see.
Hope you have a great day ...

I love his bedroom. It's wonderful that he loves airplanes just like Daddy. And how cool for him to get a Goodyear Blimp from Taiwan. Lucky Boy!
What is it about airplanes and little boys, or grown men for that matter? My husband loves to lie in the hammock in our backyard and just watch the planes flying over. There are a lot of them during the evening hours!
Looks like Griffin has a really cool room!
I love Griffin's room!
What a neat room! I love how you have them hanging. When Hannah was two years old we went to an air show and were able to take her up in a small plane. For a good year and a half she was fascinated with planes. I even found her a pink airplane charm for Christmas. But I guess being a girl, other things have since taken over, like barbies and dress-up..lol!
It looks like a cool bedroom to me!!
