Big Girl Bed

This weekend we decided we needed to start Christmas shopping and included in that was getting Hollie a "big girl bed". We found a really cute daybed, Ryan put it together and seconds later Hollie was loving it. I am so lucky to have such a handyman that can pretty much do anything. He was so excited and wanted Hollie to sleep in it Sunday night but we didn't have any sheets for it. So, Monday we went to Target and found really cute Shabby Chic bedding and last night was her first night to sleep in her big girl bed. She did fantastic!! She woke up once and then went right back to sleep. We were so proud of her. She got up on her own and came in at 6:30am to wake us up because she was ready for the day. Ofcourse we heard her moving around, but it was so cute to have her come right into our room and climb into bed with us. Since we started our morning so early we decided to go downstairs and make daddy his favorite breakfast, so french toast it was. He really enjoyed it and even got to eat breakfast with his little girl. That is a treat because usually she is still sleeping when he leaves in the morning.

As you can see we still have some things to do in Hollie's room and once I figure that out it will be complete. I am debating on wether or not to re-paint the top. I think I probably should and use just a solid light pink. I have seen a few cute ideas in magazines and I may just use one. I am having so much fun with her room and like Ryan says, it will probably only stay this way for a couple years and then we'll change it again. I am hoping to keep it for awhile, but you never know.

In the midst of changing Hollie's room we are also preparing for our little boy. I told Ryan this weekend that he can pick out what he would like for this little guy because it's his boy. I have had lots of fun with Hollie and now I want him to have fun picking things out too. He decided he wants a Hawaiian theme so we are getting ideas for that. We are so excited and cannot wait. February is right around the corner.
