Not Happy!!

,

Nope! Not one bit!

I'm not happy about what has happened today. Someone forced my hand and made a transition I did not authorize and I had not prepared for.

Olivia is not sleeping in a crib anymore.

For weeks she has been removing her diapers and doing her business in her crib and today was the grossest time by far. I'm hoping that making her bed a toddler bed, putting her in some undies and leaving a little potty in her room will lessen the restroom incidents that we are experiencing on an epidemic-like scale. I'm tired of dealing with everyone's bodily wastes!! I'm such a mom!!! :*(


I'm pretty sure that the elephant quilt on the wall above her bed will have to be removed. She can reach it and that means she's probably going to try to pull it down.

My mind is spinning with what I can do to gussy her room up. Over on Isabella and Max Rooms, I found some really cute ideas for Olivia's space. I love this room with the butterflies from the ceiling. I'm sure Olivia would go bonkers over that.....and I'm sure the cats would exhaust themselves trying to pull them out of the ceiling.

And I want to get some paint on the walls in there. Someday. I really want to paint the walls a turquoise color, since that's the color I like the best, but her curtains are pink, green and white and she has green accents in her room. Maybe a green would be nice? Something light, not too crazy. I was admiring the paint technique that was used, again, over at Isabella and Max Rooms, where they taped off 4" below the ceiling and continued the ceiling paint color down to give the illusion of crown molding. Wonderful idea! Maybe some sort of stencil around the walls would be cute too, while I'm stealing.....um....borrowing ideas from Isabella and Max's mom. ;P


You can see her curtains there and her wall stickers. She has flowers and butterflies on the walls now. So girly!
I also have a wonderful mesh bed canopy I was thinking of hanging when she's older. I know for a fact that she would pull that sucka right out of the ceiling if I put it up now. No question!

o we've had a big move today which has inspired me to make some decor changes in Olivia's room. I hope to add some wall color and make it more fun in there really soon. :)

I feel your pain- I remember when we changes our now 3 year olds bed into a toddler bed. So sad- and cribs are so nice and jail-like :)

Hope this helps and that you won't have to clean up poop off the walls :)

You've got some serious fun design work to accomplish! Enjoy.....and hopefully your tactic will work on reducing the bodily waste issues :)
