It has taken WAY too long to finally get our apartment in order, but in attempt to better remember our lives in Walpole, I am finally getting around to snapping shots of our place. As always, there are definitely things that aren't finished. Without further ado, here is the current state of Maddie and Eli's bedroom. I still need to hang curtains, buy a cute trash can, and get a matching rug for the floor.
{I was so excited to find this cute white dresser on Craigslist recently for $150 that has worked perfectly in storing the folded clothes---now Eli doesn't have to go into Robby's room to retrieve underwear, socks, pajamas, swimsuits, etc.)
I was a little unsure about pairing up Maddie and Eli when Jesse first presented this idea for rooming arrangements. I thought it might be weird putting a girl and boy in the same room. I figured it would totally mess up the decorating, I thought that Maddie might pitch a huge fit, and I didn't know how we would arrange the split up of boy toys. Luckily, this arrangement has been very successful. These two have grown a lot closer over the past six months and they seem to get along very well. Eli loves being the baby child and Maddie loves to mother him. I frequently here them giggling in there together (especially at night time when they are supposed to be going to bed). Somehow we managed to separate out the toys, and this has actually made each bedroom much cleaner than before. In return, Robby has really enjoyed having his own space to play, read, and rest without constantly being bothered by the younger brother.
Who know how the next six months will play out with a new baby GIRL coming, but for now we have enjoyed watching these two little kiddos and their blossoming friendship together.
