About a month ago, Anna Lauren asked me if she could make the upstairs bathroom "her" bathroom. I asked what she meant and she said she wanted to decorate it in zebra and hot pink. I told her she could do that once she started using the bathroom rather than our bathroom. Well, for the past two weeks she has slept in her room, woke up to her alarm, gone in "her" bathroom and put on her clothes, fixed her hair (the short hair is easier), and brushed her teeth. She has then fixed herself something for breakfast and played quietly on the IPad until time to go to school. You mommas trying to get out the door by 7 AM know this is a HUGE help in the mornings.
So...this weekend she got some zebra and hot pink stuff for her bathroom. We still need a few more things, but we will get it slowly but surely. Now...if she doesn't continue cooperating in the morning, this zebra stuff is going to find itself in a box in the attic.
And yes, she and Cooper share this bathroom. Poor Cooper...but...I decided to let her do it now before he realizes that he is sharing a "girl" bathroom. Think we have a while as he walked to his closet today and asked to put on a dress, then rode outside in a pink Barbie jeep, and pink goggles. Lord, bless our little man who will hopefully turn out ok! Ha Ha!
Now the poor grandparents that use this bathroom when they visit...all I can say is bring your sunglasses...it's wild and bright!
I put everything in "her" bathroom while Matt took them swimming this afternoon...she was so excited when she returned to a ZEBRA bathroom!
The cup and soap dispenser were big deal to her...she REALLY wants the zebra garbage can too...
