Sophie's New Blue Room

This past Saturday we decided that it was time to paint Sophie's room. Over the course of the almost two years we have been in this house each part of the house has slowly but surely gotten a fresh coat of (much needed) paint. Sophie's room is one of the last rooms to see such a transformation. We definitely did not want to go to girly with our paint choice as her room is girly enough. Neal and I settled on a pretty blue that complimented her bedding. Apparently we are really into blue, as there are several other rooms in our home that are various shades of blue, including our room, but whatever it all looks good and we are pleased with it. Sophie was so excited that her room was blue and that she helped a little bit. Most of her time was spent on our bed watching DVDs on the portable DVD player and eating from a gigantic box of Goldfish. She did really well for the entire time it took for us to paint the room, which was a while!

We are also so so excited that Sophie is now paci free ALL THE TIME! She was ONLY getting her paci at bedtimes, but we felt with 3 years old fast approaching and another baby on the way it was time for her to give it up. She did amazingly well and only had two small incidents where there were tears, but after that she worked it out like a champ. Granted, it does take her a little longer to fall asleep, which is almost a little entertaining since I get to hear the conversations that she is having with herself and her stuffed animals upstairs over the baby monitor!

The count down is on only 8 more days until we go back to the orthopedist to see about getting Sophie's casts off, so keep praying that this becomes a reality and my little girl gets her full mobility back!

We do normally have sheets on our bed, incidentally enough it was also the day to wash the sheets!

Neal pieced together panoramics of her room before and after, aside from the closet doors looking a little funky I thought it came out really good.

We also completely did away with the changing pad on top of her dresser it is now a full on big girl dresser, no more changing table.
