Kids' Rooms

I haven't shown a picture of Kevin's room yet, because until two weeks ago the only thing in there was paint, a valance, and a pack-n-play. When we moved Elena to her big girl bed in early September, Kevin inherited her crib, changing table, and glider. I was so happy to furnish my little boy's room. I still have some finishing touches to do - like pushing the things further under the crib, so you can't see them as easily. :)
He sleeps in here now and actually makes it 9 hours without waking up to eat! I love just waking up once a night and I will love it even more when I don't have to get up at all.
It is so hard to take pictures inside a small room! What you can't see is:
most of the double window, most of the changing table which has a super cute blue lamp on it, the door, the closet, and a huge bookcase with all of mine and Dan's books on it.
The stripes that my dear Mom helped me paint are only on the one wall - the others are just tan. I love his room!

Here is Elena enjoying her big girl bed which happens to be the same one that I slept in when I was a kid (new mattress and box spring though). I've been told that it's even the same bed rail I used. I bet it would totally fail all the super-strict current safety guidelines, but it works great! My mom made the cute quilt.
We initially put the mobile on the bed rail to ease her into the transition, but she was so excited about the change that it wasn't a hard adjustment at all. She was thrilled to sleep with her glow worm instead, so we gave the mobile to Kevin. She loves her new bed and has not once come out of her room during nap/nighttime (knock on wood). She is such a good girl!!!
Side note: I think it's hilarious that we make sure that the kids' rooms are just the way we want them and then our own bedroom is the ugliest, least decorated room in the house. I guess that's pretty standard though since kids' bedding and furniture is a lot cheaper then ours will eventually be.
