One of our second semester spring projects was to move Ainsley out of the nursery and into her new room. I don't like rushing her into major developments before she's ready, but with my growing belly, it was just getting too difficult for me to read to her in the rocker and then lift her up and over the crib. Laying next to her in a queen-sized bed was much more enticing.
The transition to the big bed in the new room actually went very smoothly. Forget the toddler bed, forget the railings, we went straight to the big bed with pool noodles and a barrier of pillows. We did naps in there one week and then tried full nights the next week. At 22 months, she did great! Now, at 25 months, we are having a little bit more trouble getting her to bed, but I blame that on her other major developments.
Here are some pictures of her new room. Overall, I'm pretty happy with the way it stands for now. It's not completely finished, as I still have an entire blank wall that I'd like to decorate and a few other DIY projects to wrap it up. But my project deadline has expired, so it will just have to do until this 2nd baby comes along.

| Bought this little storage bench to hold her toys. The bins were from the dollar store :) |
 |
| And the owl mobile moved rooms too! |
 |
| This is my favorite part of the new room. Wish I had a before picture of the dresser, as it was an old plain wood piece that we spray-painted those 3 colors. I love it! |

| And there's my little sweetie showing off her new room. She's a big fan! And as you can see, her owls are all still there. |
