Big Girl Bedrooms

We finally switched the girls from toddler beds to their "big girl beds."  The conversion was a long time coming, however we were very hesitant since we would be losing out on valuable play space in their bedrooms. We have been slowly picking up things for their new rooms since late last fall, so it was exciting to see it all finally come together.  Allison was very excited for her new room. 

Amelia, on the other hand, liked her new bed, but she wasn't too happy with us for getting rid of her rocking chair. To make room for her new full-sized bed, we had to get rid of the glider chair in Amelia's room.  I didn't realize how attached she was to this chair until we got rid of it. She was so mad when she came home from a weekend at Nana and Papa's house and discovered the chair was gone.  When we told her that we had to get rid of the chair to make room for her new big girl bed, Amelia responded that the chair was gone but there was no big girl bed. She made sure she pointed that out for the next two weeks while we finished getting her room ready.  Once Mia saw the new room, she was quick to point out where we could have put the rocking chair (so what that it would have completely blocked the closet door and literally would have had to have been strategically wedged in between her bed and the wall). She has come around and now loves her new room.
