OH, to be a little girl again!

I am a true believer in little kids having a space they can imagine and have fun and be their own- even if they have to share it with a sibling one day. When Thing 1 goes to bed at night I want her imagination to go free and be full of fun things and sweet dreams- mostly so she'll stay in bed all night. I hope that we have given that to her in her room. We finished painting Thing 1's room and I love it! It isn't a HUGE change but the difference is sure is. The yellow is just slightly brighter yet softer then the last yellow and instead of purple it was blue and the old border was of trucks and bikes and tractors- definitely boy from previous owners. Now there are butterflies all over. I bought a little packet of something from Wal-Mart that came with these soft little butterflies in it. I cut them off their string and stuck them around her room. So they are on the window curtain, on her shelf, the mirror on the other wall and all over. There are still some sticky flower, butterfly and bug things that I want to put on her wall but I have to paint stems and extras with them so I have to practice first. Needless to say I love going in her room. It is so girly but bright, vibrant, and full of life just like our little Thing 1.
