Changes & room rearranges for growing girls

This holiday weekend we took down the crib. Nora has been sleeping in the same bed as Fiona for over a month now, and we took the crib mattress out weeks ago so she'd stop pinging back and forth like a pinball between the crib and the bed at bedtime in order to stay awake longer. It was just time for it come down.

Today I moved some furniture around in there to make better use of a room that no longer houses a crib. The new layout should make it easier for the girls to make the bed; and besides, the change is refreshing.

Yesterday Grandma and Toot Toot brought up an old dressing table that I used as a child. The plan is to slap some white paint on it and give it a new lease on life. Between that and the addition of some more drawer space (we're reworking the division of labor, and trying to set up some organization that allows the girls to put away some of their own clothing), I think our little ladies can continue to grow into their little room for many years. What a great place to read and rest!
