Movin' on Up

It's official. Megan is now in the high rent district. She has gone from a silly, old baby room to a full-fledged big girl room. Over the past few weeks we tirelessly worked, okay well, Jillian's parents worked tirelessly to help us make the transition. I think her initial reaction of jumping up and down for close to an hour screaming "YEA!" and immediately transporting her 87 stuffed animals into the new room told us all we needed to know.

With her third birthday looming on the horizon, it's incredible to see what a little person she is becoming. We're FINALLY seeing progress in the potty training department, she's discarded her booster seat at the dinner table, and she's becoming much more skilled at manipulating us.

I walked into her former room, the nursery, and with all the things moved out or stored, it seemed ghostly, as if she had barely placed her stamp in that room, despite living in it for close to two years. Her new room seems made for her (right down to Jillian's old childhood dollhouse complete with outdated wallpapering that was saved for the next generation way back when). It's as if she's always belonged there and it took us to simply realize it and make it happen.

And I think she's taken to her new, 'upgraded' role fairly well. No complaints, no fears of being in a new environment even if it just next door to her old place. In fact, when Jillian put her to bed tonight she disdained the bedtime music she fell asleep to in her old room. I guess that music was her 'baby music' and she has taken up adult ways. Who knows ... 

... at any rate, enjoy the pictures. I can promise her room will never look this clean for awhile.
