Toddler Room Transition

March 6, 2019 by ashadmin No Comments

A little over a week ago we finally bit the bullet and moved Crosby to her new room. We did it mid-sleep regression and are keeping her in the crib (for as long as she’ll let us) and so far it’s been pretty smooth. I do hesitate to even say that because babies and toddler seem to have a sixth sense… and just when you think everything is going well they throw a wrench in it for you. Fingers crossed it remains smooth!

I wanted to share what we did in case anyone is going through something similar. 

Our plan has always been to move her out of her old nursery (pictured above) before baby arrives to give her a chance to get comfortable in her new room and not associate it with baby at all. Baby boy will not be sleeping in his nursery the first few months, but having it set up before he arrives is crucial for my sanity. Originally I set the end of January as our deadline for the room switch, but things happened and we didn’t make it. Finally, the last week of February we were able to move.

Our biggest hold up were the window coverings. Our old guest room (Crosby’s new room) has a large bay window that only had shades covering the center window. We knew in order for her to sleep during the day and in the mornings it needed to get as dark as possible, so we went ahead and ordered basic blackout shades. Those took a few weeks to come in but once they arrived we got them up as soon as possible.

Another thing we did in the interim that was kind of by accident was play in the new room. We had some of Crosby’s old toys in there set aside for baby and once she realized that she was really interested in going in there to play. We started bringing in some of her toys and books and spending some time in there here and there. I think that really helped her enjoy the room.

When it was finally moving day Jeff brought her crib in and we put her right down for a nap. She didn’t fuss for more than a few minutes and then went to sleep and hasn’t looked back.

I should mention that since this was at the end of a really bad period of sleep (two year sleep regression, two year molars and cold) so she really hadn’t been sleeping well for the week + leading up to the move. We had a few nights in the beginning where she’d wake up a bit, but it wasn’t new since we were dealing with it in her old room too.

I’m so proud of how well she’s taken to this change… again with toddlers, you just never know!

Loft Bar Back Sweater

It might seem odd, but a sweater is always a summer staple for me. I got this one from Loft recently and know it’s going to be on repeat all summer long – and even well into fall. It has the cutest bar back and slightly open knit, making it the perfect sweater for an extra summer layer.

I wear sweaters all year round but have them broken up into categories in my closet. Sweaters like this one with it’s three-quarter length sleeves, bar back and wider knit are perfect for warmer months.

I wore it over the weekend to run errands on a particularly June-gloomy day. I just couldn’t bring myself to wear jeans AGAIN (it’s been a week of gloom over here). So I threw on some comfy cutoffs and sweater and was set for the day.

I had just gotten Crosby this romper and she was dying to wear it. Or maybe I was dying for her to wear it? Either way I knew she had to do it so we made it work with her denim jacket. You can’t see the back but I had someone stencil her name on it. It’s super cute and goes with everything! What girl doesn’t need a denim jacket?!

You can’t tell in these photos… or maybe you can in some, but she is hard core teething. She’s been somewhat of a late-bloomer with teeth, but over the last month a couple more have started to break through. She now has 5. This weekend she was a lot sleepier, a bit clingier (which I won’t complain about) and had a bit of a fever. Poor girl. Hoping she feels better this week since we’re off to Palm Springs this weekend.
