My BIG GIRL room!!!!

These are before and after shots..........



















I graduated from crib to toddler bed just a few short months ago and now I have graduated from toddler bed to BIG GIRL bed!!!

This required quite the transformation of my room. I was very proud of Mommy, she didn't even shed a tear! I think she understood that I was just getting too cramped in my little bed with my pillow and all the stuffed animals I feel I need to sleep with nightly.

We started by taking out my rocking chair, then my changing table and finally my crib. Of course Carter and I jumped on it in the middle of the room for awhile though!

Once the furniture was completely moved out, it was time to bring in the BIG GIRL bed that Mommy had been working on for me. She spent time over the summer refinishing her old bedroom furniture so I could have it. It looks so beautiful, like a princess's bedroom! She painted it all white and now it has new handles and knobs on it. Of course the knobs are pink!

Anyway, we moved my bed in and Daddy decided which corner would work best. From there everything else fell into place. The bookshelf dresser fit perfectly on a small wall and my vanity dresser also fit right in. I don't know if it's all the white furniture in a room with the bottom half painted white, but it almost seems like I have more room in my room now with my BIG GIRL bed than I did with my crib!

As you can see, I was so happy to get settled into the new bed. My first order of business was to put my animals to sleep in it!

Eventually, things were all moved in and Carter and I took over. We love jumping off my new step-stool and playing in the totes.

As you can see though, all the excitement tuckered me out!
