"Mommy can you hear that? ... HOOT HOOT!"

For the past year our little family of three has been crammed in one bedroom and sharing our rented house with either a friend or family.  With unexpected recent events in the past few months, we are just down to the three of us.  Meaning... Addison gets her very own room again.  (More importantly, Mommy and Daddy get their very own adult space back!)  After deciding on a theme for a 3 year old, soon-to-be shared with new baby, bedroom; We went shopping at Target last night for accessories.  We actually went for a little bookcase, bed sheets, and a dry erase board, but found the perfect accessories for an owl/nature themed bedroom.

The new sheets.  AND... pillows, comforter, and wall decals.

 AND lamp, carpet, more decals.  We might have purchased a lot more then we intended too, but after the past year, we all deserve it.  Luckily, her toy boxes/drawers, a little rocking chair and other accessories also still match right in.  Our plan is whether our new addition is a boy or girl, owls/nature can be very neutral.  They have a cute nursery bedding with owls and trees in blue/green for a little boy.  And then we would just add a little more blue and green owls and elements in the room to balance everything out.  Or if you have another girl, then we can get the same pink/light green owl bedding.

Either way, Addison loves it so far.  She slept in her big girl bed all night long without any fuss. (Which surprises me, because she would barely sleep in the bunk bed before; Always falling asleep in my bed and having to move her to her own bed later.)  I did keep the lamp on all night long, just in case. 

When everything was set up last night and ready for her to go to sleep, she puts her ear up to the open window and says, "Mommy, you hear that?  ...Hoot Hoot!  It's a owl!!"

Now Mommy needs her own big girl room and accessories...
