my a big girl

For some reason whenever she should be saying "I" Kate instead says "my" and since the arrival of her big girl bed we've been hearing a lot of "my a big girl." She is a good big girl too.  Two nights in a row she has slept soundly in her new bed. Despite having a big girl pillow I am finding her snuggled up in all four corners of her bed like she slept in her crib. We're so pleased with her!

While disassembling the crib yesterday we decided to make a few more changes to her room.  Unlike Elliott's room we've never found Kate's to be all that cozy - it's been too big. The bed helps with that and we're pleased with it now. Anyway, I thought I would share the changes/additions:

Kate's birthday pom poms and bed/bedding.

A big girl lamp.

The mirror that belongs to the dresser.

Ode to helvetica alphabet and numbers images.

Though I shared a room with my sister most of my childhood, my room was always my sanctuary. And besides the countless Barbie rooms I created it was my first decorating canvas. I know that I have said it before but I hope one day Kate finds the same enjoyment as I do creating little spaces. If not maybe she'll let me continue. Elliott ... sorry buddy, I'm counting on you being apathetic but and at the same time willing to let me in every so often. 

Happy Sunday all. aj
