A big girl bedroom

Yesterday morning was spent in IKEA, spending a small fortune to equip Marisca's room as befits a big girl with lots of clothes and lots of toys.  Marisca enjoyed trying out all the beds and was definitley keen on one in particular, so that's the one we bought her.  Once we got it home she helped Daddy put it together:

And then tried it out:

Here's the room with all its new furniture: plenty of storage, a nice big bed and still room for playing.  The cot is still there, in the corner, in case we have nights where Marisca will not stay in the big bed, but the aim is that by the time we need the cot for its new occupant Marisca will happily stay in her bed.

Based on one night, Risky is happy to sleep in the bed but wants someone there while she falls asleep - at least you can lie next to her rather than lean over the side of the cot!  She fell out once and had to be cuddled back to sleep, but all in all it could have been worse.  Let's hope the transition goes smoothly...
