Big Girl Room

After weeks of talking to Maddie about moving to a big girl room and big girl bed, she was excited and so were we. Two weeks ago, we finished Maddie's big girl room. Grandmama and Grandaddy kept her for the weekend and we went to work on the room. We took some time off from work, Frank painted the room on Friday and we began putting the pieces into place.

On a personal note, I had to remove all my off-season clothes from the guest room closet to make room for Maddie's stuff -- my least favorite part of the weekend. That meant moving and hence cleaning out and organizing a hall closet that is a second overflow for clothes, etc. So we cleaned out and organized two huge closets while putting together her room! I know this makes for boring blogging, but it's the stuff of making room for baby. All part of the plan......

So, on to photos!!

BEFORE -- a guest room.

IN PROGRESS...

ALL DONE!!

After picking up Maddie, we were ready for the real test....DOES SHE LIKE IT??

We think this is a YES! She even sang with her maraca microphone!

She's slept in it for two weeks now and hasn't mentioned the crib once. She has so much more room to sleep and wallow. She even climbs in by herself. (I love this because lifting her has been a challenge lately.)

Of course, she resists going to bed and all that's involved in that process even though she loves actually sleeping in her bed. Must be the twos.....
