Abby's Room

Abby is getting a new bed for Christmas and comforter. So I figured i'd just go ahead and redecorate her room into a "semi-big girl room" and i'm doing a owl theme with lots of learning pictures. Hopefully even with a bookshelf and tiny table if I can find one reasonably priced. I also made little laminated color/shape posters to hang up around her room. I really would love to find a small map, dry erase/cork board/chalkboard, and kids painting table too. Ha ha can you tell the list can go on, and on!? So if anyone runs across one of those items please let me know :)
Here are some pictures of the ideas I have for her room:





(These pictures came from Potter Barn Kids)
I'm not getting those pieces of furniture or whole bedding set exactly, i'm just basing it off of those. Maybe just even getting bits and pieces of the bedding with those cute stuffed animal owls. Let me know what you think?


Also I just got back from the Applebaum Childcare seminar and I have a few ideas for a cheap present to get Abby for Christmas this year (this is for family of course). I'm not forcing anyone to get her anything I just figured this was a pretty cheap gift that she would get good use from. I know my mom always would rather me tell her what we want her to have rather than getting something she wouldn't use very long. So anyways, Abby doesn't have many learning things right now and after going to the childcare seminar i'm  DYING for her room to be labeled with learning words, learning pictures, good books, fun learning songs, etc.
These are some books i'm looking for:

Barnyard Dance! by Sandra Boynton
Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown
Fiddle-I-Fee by Jakki Wood
Ten Little Lady Bugs by Melanie Gerth
The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle
Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do you see? by Bill Martin Jr.
The Rainbow Fish by Marcus Pfister
Corduroy by Don Freeman

Sorry this post is getting pretty long, that is all i'll say...hope everyone has a great rest of the weekend :)
War Eagle!!
