Well yesterday was Operation Hayden Room and today was Operation Gracie Room. After organizing Hayden's room it motivated me to go ahead and go through all of Gracie's stuff too! Gracie still had all of her baby stuff in her closet...for example...Baby swing, bumbo seat, bottles, playmats, and all of her baby toys, which were taking up a lot of space. I also loved the idea of putting their toy boxes in their closets(thanks Mimi for the suggestion). It really makes a world of difference. Gracie's room is not a big girl room just yet, as long as she likes her baby bed I am going to let her stay in it! She still goes right to sleep when you lay her down for naps and night night and she hasn't tried to get out either. Now that I say that she will climb out tonight(haha). I also had thought that I would make her changing table more like a stuffed animal area, but I couldn't part with it just yet. After all she is still my baby, she isn't 2 yet! It was very different with Hayden at this age, we were already expecting Gracie and I was so ready to make Hayden's room a big girl room so that Gracie could have all the baby stuff! It is a little different this time, and we haven't decided yet whether there will be a baby Stancil #3. However, for the time being, we are perfectly happy with our two sweet little girls and are packing all of our baby stuff and even all of the baby toys up nice and neat to store in the basement, just in case we may need all of it again!
Gracie and Hayden both love playing with baby dolls, so I made a corner in Gracie's room that is all baby doll stuff. I also put all of Gracie's favorite stuffed animals in a basket for her to still play with. When she was a baby she loved her stuffed dragon and bumble bee! Today is the first time she has seen them in a very long time, being that they were in the bottom of her toy box and she was very happy to see them!
I still have to find pictures that I want to hang in her room and buy more picture frames. I have a few in mind that I think will be just perfect! Watching them play in their rooms today has been so interesting, it is like brand new rooms and toys! I guess we should organize a little more often.
