Here is the before of CeCe's room...
And the after! We decided to let the kids pick the paint for their rooms knowing exactly what they would say. Pink and blue! We went very light in each room though so it isn't in your face too bad. Well.....the paint in CeCe's room isn't but everything else is bright pink and she loves it! She runs to her room and looks around and says 'I love my pink room'!
We decided a while ago to get bunk beds for Bryce's room and let CeCe have his old bed. I was going to put the crib and the full bed up here and let her decide when she was ready for the big bed. She was still in her crib when we left Pensacola in December but while at my parents house my mom wanted her to try out the twin bed there. Cappy was in the room with her so I thought it would be party time all night but little bird surprised me again and made the transition like a pro! No more crib for her since that first night. She is doing amazing with it! And sleeping better it seems, I'm sure the pillow top mattress and all that space are much nicer than that tiny hard crib mattress!

Her bird sheets. I've had these for months now just waiting to put them on her bed! I had to take a picture of her two lovies. Lambie has always been her one and only but since moving she needed a little extra protection in her bed to keep her from being scared. I bought this lion when I was pregnant because I thought it was precious but she's never had much to do with it until now. The other night she was pretty scared in her room so I put this 'my special lion baby' in her bed and told her to hold its hand when she felt scared. Well, that sweet baby of mine grabs lions hand every time she gets in her bed now. It is so sweet!
CeCe used some Christmas money to buy this cradle for her babies. It stays in her room and she picks a baby each night to sleep in her room with her. Here she is rocking baby Rutie Toot (long story!) to sleep.
She can also loves to read to the babies
This picture perfectly describes CeCe right now. She is always taking care of her babies. Always. She got this nice double stroller from Santa and pushes it all over the house. She makes sure to have milk and sippy cups for them with her at all times and she feeds them meals every day. One of her babies is usually sick at some point during the day and need extra cuddling. We had been walking around the neighborhood for a while the other day when she insisted on stopping and getting baby Sally out of the stroller. Sally's feet were cold so she carried Sally while pushing Hugh and Papa in the stoller. It made it much harder for her to push the stroller, but a Mama's got to do what a Mama's got to do, right?
I think out of everyone CeCe is having the hardest time here. She is still happy go lucky CeCe most of the time, but when asked if she likes living in Savannah she says 'no, I like MY house in Pensacola, I go back there'. She makes up stories about her friends in Pensacola and everytime we talk about going somewhere she thinks she is going to see Kate and Mrs. Kelly there. I know this will get better for her, she is such a social butterfly that once we get her around other kids she will feel happier here. She starts a gymnastics class at the YMCA on Tues. and I think that should help a lot. I have fallen in love with a preschool program close to the house but they don't have any spots open in the 2s so she is signed up for the fall in the 3s class. We are just going to wait until then. As much as she misses school and would love to go somewhere I don't want to put her just anywhere for these few months. Earlier this week she was so scared in the house if someone else wasn't close by (thankfully her pink room was her safe zone and she felt safe enough there to sleep and nap!). Luckily we have gotten past that and she is back to running around here by herself. Now that Bryce's school hours are 9-3:30 CeCe can nap like a 2.5 year old should (which is at least going back to her room for quiet time every afternoon from 1:30-3). It has been wonderful! The kitchen has a short bar and the previous owners left some barstools. This has become her fav. spot in the kitchen. I love having her sit there and chatting with me while I'm getting lunch together or making dinner. She has been the best helper in getting the house set up. She loves to shop and help me measure and hang pictures up. I know my little bird is going to love it here soon!
