Pretty in Pink

This is such a happy, long awaited day! Aubrey got a room make-over. She went from a twin to a full, lime green walls to pink, bugs to flowers, and has a much bigger closet. We are really spinning it as her Birthday gift because room make-overs do not come cheap, but to be honest it is so much more. Aubrey has struggled with night time dryness for the last two and a half years (and nap time dryness too). It never "clicked" like it does for most kids. She is such a heavy sleeper that waking her is near impossible and we have carried her to the bathroom, sat her on the potty, and had her still be dead asleep. Heck, I even completely changed her clothes for swim lessons a few weeks ago without waking her. So, the normal strategies didn't work for her since we can't wake her up. About a year ago, I told her that she could pick out new bedding and a new wall color when she could wear underwear to bed and stay dry on a regular basis. It has been a long journey, but the last six months have been very promising and she has had fewer and fewer accidents. So today we are celebrating a new season in her life and a overcoming something that is been a huge obstacle for her in her short life! She loves it and is so proud of her new room!
