Though these pics don't show the final product, Ellison has a new little cubby to sleep in. She became much more excited about bedtime since she got her "princess curtains". She thinks it is so cool to sleep in her very own tent-like setting. When she goes to sleep, the curtains are down, closing her in, which is something she always loves to be. Well, we started off with just one curtain being down (in case she needed to quickly/easily get out of bed for an emergency), but she has started this phase where certain objects are "scary" to her in the dark. (I'm thanking Disney, for all the scary things they put in their princess movies, and I'm thanking ourselves, for exposing her to them). First, the "rectangles on the door" (the insets), were scary, so now both curtains are down so she can't see the rectangles. Then, the decorative circle on the headboard of her antique toddler bed, which she used to call "a doorbell", is now a "scary eye". So we have a big princess pillow that covers it up at the head of her bed.
Since it is taking me so long to keep up with posts lately, I'll say that Grandma just finished the curtains for us - they were too short, and we couldn't buy them the right length. So I'll post the new pics when I catch up on the other posts.
Needless to say, Ellison LOVES her bed area now.
So excited trying out her cubby for the first time. She was lit up like a Christmas tree.
Not sure why, but Ellison took off her gloves to touch the snow, and realized just how cold your fingers become.
