....to Alina Jayne sleeping in her own room????
Her BIG reason for not sleeping in her room was that there was no computer in there. "I can't stay in there with no computer!" She occasionally says she also needs a TV, but the computer was the deal breaker. We happen to have an old computer that is fine for for internet use (so she can play on PBS Kids Play & Noggin) and an old computer desk. We were going to wait to set up her "workstation" until Matt had a chance to paint the desk and get a flat panel monitor, but he decided tonight he would just set up what we have on hand for the time being. After all, he spent months renovating and decorating a nursery for her before she came home from China, and she STILL has never slept in there!
After he finished setting things up, we called her upstairs. She squealed with excitement, sat down and said "OH MY GOODNESS, THIS IS SOOOOOO EXCITING!" She then proceeded to ask her Dad and I to close the door and go downstairs so she could have "privacy."
"OH MY GOODNESS THIS IS SOOOOOO EXCITING!!"
They *THINK* I'm really going to sleep in here!
Uh oh, they really do expect me to sleep in here!
The view from her bed......
Even if we don't end up putting a TV in there, she could watch a DVD on her computer from her bed. It's a pretty sweet set-up if I may say so myself. From an oldest child who ALWAYS had to share a bedroom with one or both of my sisters, I have decided if Alina Jayne does not want to use her room, I will move in!
One day closer to only two people in our bed??? We shall see :O)
