Before En'en was born, we did a renovation in the girl's room and also brought a double deck bed with a pull out deck, hoping one day En'en would join her sisters in the room. That wishful dream did not materialize. En'en slept with us for 6 straight years in our room. Qiqi did not like the idea of sleeping in the upper deck either, always complaining that it was too warm. As our En'en grew in size, it became more and more difficult to have a proper rest at night. She would kick away our blanket or simply push or kick me out of my bed! I decided it was probably time to take some action to influence En'en to shift out of our room as well as for Qiqi and XuanXuan to welcome their sister into their room without compromising their nightly rest.
A project was triggered last year together with the girls to renovate their rooms again, this time, with their ideas adopted to inject some passion into them. The brain-storming went quite well and they were anticipating a transformation to their "more-than-6-years" room.
Everything was planned to happen this June; a new ceiling fan was bought, the power cables were re-arranged, three single beds and paints were also purchased. We were ready for the action... This started off with the massive packing of the room to prepare for the painting and the beds. Then, the old bed was dismantled before we asked for the ceiling fan to be mounted. Following was a whole day of painting the room and all our room doors. A few days later, the new beds finally arrived and the project was wrapped up after the girls packed their stuff into their storage beds.
Among the three, En'en was the most excited one, mainly because she was the one who contributed the least labor but got to enjoy the fruit. Her excitement cannot be concealed! On the very first night, she insisted to sleep as early as she could... something that only happens once in a very blue moon!! (^_-)
