THE BIG GIRL ROOM

Checking out her height












Can't wait to get fish in the aquarium!

Kalea is growing up so fast! We can't believe she's 19 months already! We decided that it was time for her to get a "big girl bed" (she still sleeps with us) in order to prepare her for the arrival of her baby brother and to help transition her into her own bed/room. We moved her to another room in the house and redecorated it to make it more appealing to her. She watched as Ryan painted it and was so excited to see a different and bright color on the wall. She enjoyed watching and helping us put her new toddler furniture together and liked helping me when we started to do some decorating. We decided to do a Mermaid theme and put a small fish aquarium in there for her to help her want to be in the room. We are slowly trying to ease her into the reality that she will be in a sepearate room from us soon; I have started putting her down for nap time in the new room and it has been successful! We think in a couple of weeks she'll be ready to attempt sleeping in it overnight, lets cross our fingers! So far she is loving it! Next on our list of projects, the nursery!
