The Big Girl Room

We have been working diligently for months now it seems to get Samantha's new big girl room ready. We decided awhile ago, and Samantha finally conceded, that baby brother should use the "baby room". She was conviced for quite some time that she was going to have 2 rooms ... a baby room and a big girl room! I think seeing the close to finished product made her realize that the new room is way cooler. It started with removing the old furniture when Mom and Dad were in town last month, and finished up this past weekend with the help of Jerry and Connie.

Monday night was the big night. We decided to let Samantha take the big girl bed for a spin. She slept right through the night, and even took her nap in it the next day. I am knocking on every piece of wood around me as I type this, but we have now had 2 successful nights in the new digs. Since most of her things are now in her new room, we are hoping she doesn't look back!

We thought we'd share a few pictures of the room, complete with "cotton candy pink" walls and plenty of flowers and butterflies. We have yet to finish the white dresser, and we still have some things to hang on the walls, but Samantha is happy with it. And if Samantha is happy, we're all happy!

I think she is happy!!
