Amelia has moved out!

When Amelia was a baby my plan was for her room to be upstairs (our master bedroom is downstairs). Once she was born I just could not have my baby so far away from me so we added a small bedroom onto our bedroom to be close by. The room wasn't even used until Amelia was 2 1/2 because she slept with us until then. When she turned 2 1/2 she started sleeping in her own bed in the room addition and we were perfectly happy with the arrangement. Most nights her and Elliott would fall asleep together in our bed and then we would move her to her bed. Again, this worked just fine for Frank and I. We love having our babies nearby at night.

This summer (to our horror) Amelia started talking about moving upstairs to a "Big Girl" room. Her Daddy was not happy about this and did not want to hear anything about it. Amelia persisted in her usual fashion and over Labor Day weekend we went shopping for "Big Girl" bedroom furniture. She was so excited she counted down the days for it to be delivered. When it finally came she said to the delivery guys "Excuse me sir, could you please put my furniture together super fast"! She loves her bedroom and has been sleeping all by herself every night ever since we got it ready. She is not scared and sleeps like a baby! It was much harder on Frank and I then it was on her. I did not sleep well the first 2 days she moved up there. I kept waking up all night to check on her. I am used to it now. She is very proud of her big girl room and we are very proud of her!
