I first shared about my plans for the girls' room literally over a year ago! It feels so good to share just a peek of it! I'm calling it phase 1--It can be tough to move quickly when the budget is tight and time is too. Breaking it down into phases helps me feel like I'm accomplishing something. Yay for playing mind tricks with myself. Here's my progress:
Dear Nadia,
How are you already in Kindergarten?! How is it that you are nipping at the heels of SIX years old? How did that happen?
Do you know I worry about you being the middle child? You're not the oldest, the baby, or the only son. Will you feel overlooked? Will you feel lost? Will you feel cheated? But then on days like today, on the eve of your first year in elementary school, days where I have all the excitement and nervousness in the world as if I haven't been through this before, days where I get teary eyed at the thought of letting you go, I know you'll be okay. I know you'll feel special and loved and looked after. Because you are sweet girl. Don't think I don't notice.
