The weekend before I left on my girl's cruise, Jason and I spent all weekend cleaning out the stuff in what once was my scrap book room so that Bailey could have her new big girl room. We couldn't believe the amount of stuff that had accumulated in that room. We relocated all my scrap book stuff to a new cabinet in the dining room and finally got it all cleared out.
While I was gone on my annual girl's trip, not only did Grandma spoil our favorite girl, she also had time to paint the new room and decorate it. She did a wonderful job and it is beautiful.
When we returned from our respective trips (and while Grandma was still here to see her reaction), we unveiled the new room to Bailey. It was Tuesday morning and we told her that Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, and Belle had come while we were sleeping the night before and made her a room. She was so excited! She tried out everything in her room - the bed, the dresser, the rug, the chair, the toy box. She just kept running from one to the other. Then she decided that we must move all her clothes immediately into her new room. From there, she began bringing clothes from her old dresser to her new dresser. She decided this was her room and hasn't looked back.
As I type this, we have spent two nights in the big girl bed. The first night she went to bed no problem and although she woke up twice in the night, she did not get out of her bed until the morning. Last night she didn't go to bed so easily. She proceeded to have many excuses for why she had to get out of bed. Those excuses ranged from needing to blow her nose to what the strange noises she was hearing were. Once she finally fell asleep, she stayed there until morning despite waking up once in the night. All in all, it's going better than expected. Hopefully, it'll stay that way. Below are some of my favorite pictures.
