Love the room! What did you use to darken the room? any curtain recommendations?

At the moment our rooms are semi attached ( we walk through her room to get to ours). In Sept we are finally making the big move and giving Poppy her very own BIG GIRL ROOM! I think I’m the most excited because I get to decorate her room. I am absolutely making her closet into a fort!!! How awesome.

Me again- I’m just trying to work out what the Obleman approach is (can’t seem to pin it down online without buying the package!!!)- can you summarise what she suggests you do? Thanks

I’ve never heard of Dana Obleman so will look her up….thanks for the tip.

We used the in-room model of Dana Obleman’s Sleep Sense program, and loved it.

We were/are the exact same… Since fairly early on, we’ve made sure that we were at home for nap times and bedtimes, as well as made sure that Gracen’s had a dark, quiet space to sleep. It definitely is tricky sometimes, especially when bedtime is between 6:30 and 7:00, but we’ve always known that sleep would be a priority in our house and both my hubby and I are willing to give up some of our social engagements in order to ensure our little lady is well rested and happy. Luckily, our family and friends (even the ones who do things differently) have been very supportive, so that makes it a lot easier for us. I’m sorry yours have not always been. I don’t know what you’ve done so far, but maybe an honest conversation about how it’s what you feel is best for your little one would be helpful? Best of luck! I know it’s not always easy…

Hah! This made me laugh, Jenn, because I do the same! ‘Ooooh! Pretty buttons – must have’ but then have no real plan for them. I’ve made several of these as gifts now and they’re really easy and look great in the basic IKEA shadow box. The other thing that will be fun, and maybe once Baxter is a little older (I don’t know if he’s still putting everything in his mouth or not), is a little button sorting game. We did one with an egg carton, but there are lots of options!

Anyway, I digress…).

Such a cute and tidy room! You sparked my interested in the post when you talked about working hard to make sure your little lady became (and stayed) a good sleeper, and is always well rested. I’ve also been keen to make sure my daughter is well rested and like to ensure that she is in bed early and gets her lunchtime nap. However, I’ve had some resistance from my family who haven’t always been supportive of this approach (deeming us inflexible)…I just wondered what you did to ensure Gracen was well rested?

I have been hoarding buttons for such a long time and use them whenever I’m crafting, but have never thought to make letter like Gracen’s gift! Fantastic idea! Definitely going to give that one a go for Baxter!
