What a pretty pink room, for a precious little girl. I can remember telling David I wanted to paint Ellie's room pink, and for any of you that know David, know that this was WAY out of his comfort zone! We picked the perfect pale, dainty shade...Pink Air. Even daddy-to-be was excited about it! He did such a good job painting the room, and installing the ceiling fan. It was so wonderful to see him put so much care and time into her room...he wanted everything to be perfect for her.
Together, we put her crib together, and had to snap this picture afterwards. Her room looks so serene, peaceful, calm, yet girly too. I can see the excitement in our eyes and can tell how proud of it we were. I also look back at this picture and see how clueless we were to the journey ahead of us. We have both changed. Hopefully for the better, but I can't help but see how a little piece of us, our innocence, was taken away when Ellie was born. We were thrown into parenting head on, like every new parent. But, we were forced to learn things most parents don't ever have to, nor want to think about or learn. Of course, David and I both would take away PWS from this world if we could, but that would change our whole course, path, and way of parenting. Ellie is exactly who she was intended to be, and we're so thankful for her and what she has taught us. Hands down, she has made us stronger, better parents.
And her little pink room suits her perfectly...
