Well, Reese and Q have "successfully" been sharing a room for a couple weeks. It's been an adjustment, but it's working out much better than I'd thought. They might argue over toys and get into each others space during the day, but come bedtime, these little girls are the best of friends. It's funny to listen to their nighttime chatter and see them watch out for each other, when one of them needs something.
Reese has had her name on her bedroom wall for some time. I've had the letters for Quincy's name since she was born, but never got around to doing anything with them and putting them up on the wall. Last week, I took some paper to match her new dresser and covered the letters of her name so she can have a space of her own.
Storage tip: Isn't that little crib skirt darling? Ok, so you can't see much of it in the picture, but it is cute and my sister, Amy, made it! Under the crib I have 3 long flat storage bins for toy storage. It is great for the toys that they play with every single day, because clean up is easy, and they can get to everything themselves. The girls just pull them out like drawers. One houses the dollhouse furniture and people, one houses the baby dolls, bottles and clothes, and one has Barbie and her accessories. They are the EXACT size in length to go under the crib and 3 of them fit perfectly side by side. The lids are easy for the kids to pop on and off. Easy clean up. I got them for $7 a piece at walmart, and then unfortunately saw them for 1/2 the price at the Associate's Store like a month later. Oh well, that is usually how it goes with the Associate's Store. They were still worth the full price if you ask me. I can't stand having all the toys mixed together in one toy bin, and my kids won't play with them when they're everywhere anyway. It's much easier for them to just pull out a few things at a time, and then they don't get sick of what they have.

I am so excited they are sharing a room. I have so many good memories of sharing a room with my little sis!!
and also memories of drawing a line down the middle and declaring "you cannot cross over onto my side".....but mostly good memories.
love the name! it turned out super cute...sharing a room with another sibling is a MUST for all children...it is good prep for life!
I'm glad they adjusted so quickly. That'll make the new addition of baby brother that much easier.
I may have thrown every shoe I owned (and a pair of scissors once) at my little sis Natalie for snoring, but now we're BFF's. We just had to grow up! :)
