Big Girl Room

One of the little things Daddy and I decided to do as part of your fifth birthday was to redecorate your room.  We actually had decided to do this way back when you were just a baby.  We always thought that five sounded like a good age to have a big girl room... even though you've had the big girl furniture since you were 18 months old.

(Yeah - I always get asked, "You got rid of the crib when she was only 18 months old?!?!?!"  I don't know - seemed like a good idea at the time.  And Daddy and I were kind of tired of the crib.  And you NEVER had a problem with the transition... you actually slept better in the big bed... although now you won't give up your bed gate... but I digress.)

Daddy found a colorful Princess border at Wal-Mart that's reusable (basically a giant Post-It Note!) along with some other wall decals that all go nicely with your pretty blue walls.  (Yes - our ulterior motive was to NOT repaint your room... especially to repaint it pink, as you requested.)  We found the posters at Walt Disney World.  And I even asked for a menu at Cinderella's Royal Table and our wonderful waitress gave one to me!

So, while the girls went to see "Mary Poppins" a couple weeks ago, Daddy was busy transforming your baby room into a room fit for a princess...

I so LOVE the Cinderella opera poster...

The menu from Cinderella's Royal table is the small one to the right of the big poster.  I'll get a better photo of it... because it is BEAUTIFUL.

Daddy unveiled the room to you when we got home and you instantly LOVED it.  Your reaction -- your hands going to your mouth in surprise -- absolutely melted Daddy.  (And me, too.)

Love you, princess.
