so here it is!  i am really happy with how it turned out ... shawn is the best handyman ever!  i love the walls and the paint, he did such a great job :)  I think maddie likes her new room too. She is transitioning into a big girl bed fairly good.  She gets in like an angel at night and at nap time, but it seems that each night she is finding her way into our bed a little earlier :) the first night was 7 am (what a cutie climbing into our bed).  the second night was at 6 (still cute but be quiet maddie it's still early for mommy). the third and fourth night has been at 2 am (NOT CUTE!  GO BACK TO SLEEP MADDIE)  so i have had to get her back into her bed and inch my way out for two nights now... love her, but i value my sleepy time :)  if anybody has any advice please speak up!  up next is Mia's room :)

Oh my heck! Shawn you freakin' rock! It's the perfect little girls room. I'm sorry that Maddie comes in your room at night. We have the same problem with Jaron sometimes, we just take him back to his room, and tell him it's still night and he needs to sleep in his bed. Good luck! I promise, it does get better.

Maddie is a lucky little girl to have such a handy daddy who can put up wainscoating and can paint a room to look so professionally done... (oh wait, it WAS professionally done, by SHAWN!)... and she's a lucky little girl to have a mommy with such good taste who puts together a little girl's room with such cute designing!!!! It is DARLING and I can't wait to see it! Can't wait to see what you do with MIA's little room... fun times! love you, Mom

Love the room! Turned out so cute! I am excited to see Mia's room and the bedding you made! I also love the new family pic! Love your hair short! Has it ever been that short? Also, have you heard of babysteals.com? They have a deal a day and for some reason I think of you when I see the stuff they sell. They had Petunia pickle bottom bedding half off(I know, too late now) and they have tons of girl stuff. You know me, I love a good deal!

Cute Room! Austin didn't have any trouble staying in her bed and night, but always wanted to come out at nap time. We finally got those little things you put over the door knob so toddlers can't open it and put it on her side of the door. Once she realizes she can't get out she will either climb back in bed and go to sleep or fall asleep on her floor playing with toys. It has worked great. Good Luck! You just wait until she wants to be a nudist-those are some good times!

It is really cute Laura. I am jealous. I wish Ryan knew how to use more than a power drill. I have a book to bring you on sleeping. My sister-in-law (aka the sleep Nazi) loves it. I will bring it today.
