Transition

Getting ready for Noah is much more then buying things and setting up his room.  For us, it also means preparing the Sophie and Avery. We started by talking about getting a new baby.  At first we thought we were getting a girl and they wanted no part of that. "No baby sister!".  Now that we've received a referral for aboy their tune has completely changed.  They are beyond excited.  Out of the blue one will light up and say, "I have a baby brother.  He's in China.".  Sophie has asked if she can feed the baby, while Avery has made plans to teach him how to go potty.  

Another piece of the transition has been moving Sophie and Avery into their new bedroom.  This did not initially go over too well.  They liked their room and were comfortable there.  Unfortunately the closet just wasn't big enough for 2 girls growing up. The guest room closet is much bigger.  Those of you that know the girls well and know of their passion for shoes will understand that the closet was the deal maker of moving to the new room.  I took them over to the guest room, openned hte closet, and simply said, "shoes".  They looked at each other and said, "Ok."  We had a woman come and paint a flower garden mural and moved in the following weekend.  Here are the pictures.  Enjoy!
