Sophia loving her new room and us getting that done and out of the way was a big part of the weekend. Most of you saw the video on FB. I am so glad I recorded her reaction. It was priceless and so rewarding after all the time, effort, and money we put into making her room a little sanctuary just for her. What is also great is that she did not blink about her old furniture being in Isabelle's room. In fact, now that she has her new room she is even more open to her sister. She asks me, "Can I see Isabelle's room?" or she tells me mom, "Nana, Isabelle is my baby." So in spite of my worry that Sophia was going to react negatively to getting her old furniture "taken away" - its like she is freely giving it to her sister in exchange for this magical new room that she now barely wants to leave.
Anyway, for those of you who have not seen the video yet and want to, here is the link:
Re: Sophie's Big Girl Room
awwwww she's soooo adorable!! "thank you mommy and daddy for doing this." she's precious!!
and the room is fabulous!!! i love it!!
I LOVE IT!!! Great job on the room. So glad Sophie loves it.. How was her 1st night in it? You dont need a guard for her on the other side??
Logan still falls out the bed.. LOL
Thanks!!!! I love the way it came out. Its so bittersweet, tho. She looks so little sleeping in that bed. LOL.
Liz, when this video was taken the guard rail was under her bed in its box. We hadn't had time to put it on. She definitely needs it. Its on there now. her first night we did not even have to tell her it was bedtime. Come the end of an epside of Diego, well before 8pm, she bounced up and announced it was bedtime. She ran to her room, jumped in her bed, and turned off the light. LOL. I had to actually negotiate to get her back out of the bed to go potty.
Last night was just as easy except she did turn on her light once - because she can. Haha.
Awe.. How awesome.. So glad she likes it and yeah she can reach that light.. Before long she will be reading herself to sleep like her mama!
Cant wait to see Isabelle's room.
