I can see the future...

Stella spent a few hours with her Aunt Katie on Saturday.  They made the cutest little unicorn for the baby (kind of like build a bear and they put a heart in it).  I put it on the dresser in the nursery, and Stella promptly moved it to the bookshelf.  After she went to bed, I put it back on the too-naked dresser.  I got pretty much chewed out when she found out.  I can't believe that this little 3-year old wanted  a new mama because I changed her hinges and door knob to her room, and is now in charge of decorating.  I can only imagine the power struggles that are going to occur during her teen years!  In the end, the unicorn that she made is hanging out on the bookshelf.  It's just one of those things that is NOT a big deal and it's so much more important to me to let her make some choices and to be respectful of them.  (pictures coming SOON)

I also worked on a little arrangement of frames.  They'd been hung, but were empty.  I finally decided that until we have pictures of her to use she will have pictures of Jim, Stella, and I in her room.  I printed four (two of him, two of me) that kind of went together and let him choose...

I can't believe how similar they are!  Same age, pose, direction - I love it!  It's not the first time this has happened.  When I was putting together pictures for our wedding I found Christmas pictures from my first, his second, Christmas and they were also the same.  Same chair, same Santa - crazy!

So, I want to finish up a couple more things before I post finished nursery pictures.  We are two weeks out!  Almost everything is ready, just a couple more things on the "to-do" list that lives on the kitchen counter.  :)
