The start.

The kid has his own place now. It is in one corner of the backside of the house, tucked away neatly for his own privacy as well as to maintain our sanity. Little spurts of tantrums cannot be heard much unless it turns into a full-blown crying session, of which--being good parents--we will take notice.
The conundrum with this new independence is designing it. I have no experience with children let alone children's room, and despite my semi-artsy background, my imagination is at a standstill. I have the artist block. I don't know whether to choose animals, cars, trains, or planes. I mean, the possibilites are endless!

What I do know is what I don't want, and that is:

• anything Disney or other branded merchandise like Curious George, Diego, Thomas the Train
  
• anything too cutesy
• anything too blue
• anything too boy-ish
• anything that does not inspire the imagination or self-conversations

When I have discovered more of the things I do not want, I will add to the list.

And so begins our search and our project for His Own Corner. Hopefully, before we move from here, we would have come close to completing his room or atleast settled on a design.

Now let's begin...
