Bedroom

Oh Little Lana - you are so cute.

Now that you're in your new bed you've got a new found freedom. Some nights, on my way up to bed, I look at the bottom of your closed door and can see the pink light from your lamp. I open the door to find you snuggling with your two "girls" (porcelain dolls) that were sitting on your new dresser, you're lying on your Little Mermaid and Snow White books while you're wearing your blue Ariel nightie.

You've suddenly become an early riser, sometimes you can get your bedroom door open and I find you sitting on the Lazy-boy chair playing with some of your toys. Other times you can't quite open the door so I hear a couple of knocks that are oh-so gentle and soft. I open the door and sometimes you've put on your black patten shoes, or your backpack with all your princess heels and even some jewelry at times.

I'm not a morning person, by no stretch of the imagination... but to me, you're my cup of coffee.

I love you.

Lana the Esthetician

She thought I would look the best with blue nail polish followed with a pick overlay. She had a blast painting my nails.

Heels

(Yep, that's yellow nail polish!)

Results - First Night in Bed

She was a doll, didn't get out once and didn't fall out!

It's 7am and I'm expecting her to stay down for another hour or so, I'm interested to see if she'll still call for me (like RW use to do) or if she'll get up and start playing.

Her room is littered in pink and red. Colin thinks we should get rid of the rocking chair now that we can read to her in bed... I'm not ready for that one, it'll go upstairs in the loft for now.

New Year, New Sleeping Arrangements

Today is the day - Little Lana will go to sleep in a "big girl" bed!

I went hunting for a used dresser for her because the old one that she inherited from RW was so busted that the middle drawer wouldn't open or close. On my search I found this man selling his daughter's bed, lamp, dresser and mirror. He only has her every other weekend so it's hardly used and in AMAZING condition.

Yesterday we went and picked up some cheap bedding. I have a vision for her room but I'm going to have to wait until she's around RW's age to get her my dream furniture, bedding, etc.

Pictures (as always) to follow.
