corner of smiles

this morning as I woke Madison up for school

I walked into her room

and just smiled at the side of her bed

she was sleeping peacefully...

albeit we were already late for school

because she was overtired from the day before

and I lost track of time

what's new lately...I'll admit running late drives me crazy

but I've been guilty of it so much these past couple of months

I still took my time with her getting her dressed and waking her up for the day

it makes the day go smoother when she wakes up nicely rather than in a rush

but this little girl had pictures today

and she was grinning ear to ear as I placed a grey headband on her head

that yes I do wear from time to time too

but it looks fantastic on her

But as I walked into her room ~

I always seem to gaze at this corner of her room

it makes me smile every time I see it

Even though we aren't quite finished with her big girl room we started at the beginning of the year

I still wanted to take a few photos of this little corner for memory sake

capturing the small things

that make her smile

because she loves her room

and that way she can remember what it looked like years from now

she's my girl that will secretly escape at some part of the day to her room

she loves her alone time

she's always been that way

so we let her be

giving her some space that she looks forward to everyday

we have some plans to add bead board to the walls and paint the top something that fits her

or that she picks...
within reason I will add
because we aren't doing something that clashes with her current bedding

but for the meantime we had changed the walls to white

in order to get the brighter pink out

as well as to fit with her big girl bed

in her nursery, she formerly had pink walls...

I just knew when I was pregnant with her that she would love color for some reason

and she does...
so at that time is was a great fit

but when we got her big girl bedding back last year,

 pink walls and pink bedding was a bit too much

for everyone

she loves bright colors but also loves white
so it will be fun for Christmas getting it settled for her

{courtesy of Santa, of course}

she already loves to get into fixing her room up

so its the perfect gift

but for now

it makes her smile

 as is right now

and you can't beat being happy about that!
