A room fit for a child who is going to leave me someday
My daughter is now twenty-one months old. Do you know what that means?
If you do can you tell me? I'm kind of freaking out about it. It seems like every day she sheds what is left of her babyhood and becomes a real person.
A KID. I have a kid. Not a baby. A kid.
A part of growing up means sleeping in a real bed and after discussing it Jacob and I agreed that it was time for Avery to take that next step. We packed up her crib (which is actually just a pack 'n play; we're ghetto like that) and rearranged the furniture in her room to accommodate her new toys. I want her to enjoy her new big girl room and I think it looks kind of rad.
Want some photos? YEAH YA DO.
Before:
After:
I know that tree decal looks weird but it used to be behind the bed and NOT floating in the middle of the wall. I need to figure out a way to make it not look odd.
Oh look! It's the big girl herself! Trying to escape out of the window and leave me.

Looks good! Everybody says she is growing up so fast. She's beautiful. MDA
Love that painting above the dresser! Did you make or buy and where? Email me! smartinez03 at live dot com
Anyway, it looks fabulous and I hate that they are growing up way too fucking quickly! I took some pictures at Christmas and when I went through them I started crying because in a couple it was so obvious that he's a BOY not a baby!
We are saps. How did last night go?
Love the letters. So cool.
Our last two babies have slept in a pack and play in our master closet! It is a walk-in with an A/C vent and they love the dark and quiet and get better sleep.
Adorable! Such a cute big girl room for such a cute big girl. Hey, is it wrong that I am happy about my kids getting bigger and getting ready to leave? Just askin'...
