We, actually Patrick, took some time and finally painted Mikayla's room. Since I am pregnant, he wanted me no where near the paint. We bought her some new twin size bedding (for when she moves to a twin bed), matched the colors, and went town painting. Our first idea, was to paint yellow on top, light pink on the bottom, a chair rail between the two, then a brighter pink around her window seat. After the paint was on the walls, we changed our minds, and decided to go with yellow, and a darker pink with a chair rail and paneling below her window seat. I am going to try and make a window seat cushion and some curtains for her, we'll see :-).

We moved her into the spare room while Patrick was paining and when we moved her back into her room, we decided to convert her crib to a toddler bed--wow our little girl is growing up! The first night, she fell aslepp no problem at all. About 2 hrs after we put her down, we heard a couple of thuds on the ground. We raced upstairs and Patrick found her trying to get up off the floor--oohh. He picked her up, gave her a big hug, then put her back in bed all without her crying!! She slept soundly the rest of the night :-). The next day was a challenge for naps, I had to put her back in her bed 4 times, before she fell asleep. I wanted to make sure she was in bed, so I camped out outside of her door--I fell asleep also!!

She has not fallen out of bed since, and I have only had to put her back into bed once for naps--yay!!! We decided to order her a twin bed that will arrive sometime next week. We also bought some cute decals and painted her letters that spell her name, pink and green--which we will put up when we put her new bed together.
