She's come out of the closet...



Well...let me explain. Olivia has had her crib in our closet. Now before you think I'm a terrible Mother, our closet is as big as a bedroom. She's had a room for a good while, but I needed to paint it and get it all ready. I finally finished painting it about 3 months ago and it has been ready for her, but I was dreading the day of moving her and having to deal with everything that comes with it. Finally on Sunday night we did it, we didn't even plan to move her into her room. We just walked by it on the way to Connor and Parker's room and though that we should try it. We laid her down and she wasn't to happy so Joe laid down with her and when he tried to leave she would start crying, he went back and laid with her again. After a while of laying with her he thought she was asleep and tried to sneak away but nope she cried some more. I then went and laid with her for a little bit, while I laid with her I heard the boys being loud and told Olivia "I'll be right back", she didn't cry when I left. I did come back and laid down with her, then realised that if I told her that "I'll be right back" that she would be fine and I could escape. So I did...I left, but this time I didn't come back and she fell asleep all on her own. YEAH!!! She has done amazingly good the rest of the days that I'm so surprised and wished that I would of done this a lot sooner.
Her room is not 100% complete but it will get there eventually. I can finally get my porcelain dolls that I collected when I was young and put them in her room. So much to do and so little time.
