Let me just say before reading any further....DON'T JUDGE ME!
Ok, Kassidy is 8 and her bedroom has remained the same since she was a baby. Nothing about her room has changed since the day we brought her home from the hospital except the bed. It wasn't really what I would call nursery decor, it was a dark taupe, navy and maroon...cute, cute, cute! She has been BEGGING for I don't know how long to change it.
Kassidy: "mom, PLEEEEEEAAAASSSEEEEEE can we paint my room pink?"
Me: "some day."
Kassidy: "mom, PLEEEEAAAASSSSEEEEE....I don't like having a baby room!!!"
Me: "Kassidy, I said someday."
Well, someday has gotten here. This past week I have been tearing down wallpaper border and painting that cute little room PINK. I have to admit that it's cute. It's a light pink on top, darker pink on bottom with a white chair rail. She is so excited. Those beautiful brown eyes just light up everytime she walks in her room. Now that it is almost done, I really wonder why I was dragging my feet about this transformation and then it hit me. Re-doing Kassidy's room was the last bit of "baby" that I was holding onto. She's my last baby and I'm finding it very hard to let her grow up!!
For those of you now worrying about Karson, you know, the forgotten middle child, stop worrying, her room is next!
