Little Mermaid Mural in Chelsea's new room!

Since we are going to keep the nursery as is for baby boy fisher we are going to move Chelsea into a big girl room downstairs.  Since she is too young to tell us how she wants her room decorated we had to guess on what she'd like.  She loves swimming, fish, and squeals with delight every time I take her past underwater world in the MOA. We were worried that an underwater theme would be too 'boy like' so bought a mural of the little mermaid to 'girl up' the room a bit. 

Ben painted the room yesterday and then we put up the mural today.  The room is looking fantastic!!!  After I post this blog I'm going to go down and vacuum and carpet clean the room.  Once that is done I'll work on transferring her stuff from the nursery to the new room and we'll get her transitioned in there ASAP. 

We bought a twin bed for her but to make the transition easier we are going to put her in the pack and play for a little bit so she can get used to her new surroundings.  Once she is used to her room we'll put the mattress on the floor and then hopefully get her into the bed frame ASAP.  Sometimes I think it would have been easier to buy another crib to keep her in for awhile, but the last thing we wanted to do was to spend money on another crib.
