So tomorrow Miss Bea will be a whopping 7 months old and tonight she's asleep in her own room for the first time. I'm past the nervous nell part of leaving her to sleep alone, I've just been keeping her in our room out of pure convenience. Girlfriend still eats, oh, all night long and it's just easier to have her close. But it's time to have a little more personal space (turning the light on to read at night will seem downright exotic) and hopefully having her in a different room will make me a little tougher on the all night buffet access.

Now, because this house is 3 million years old there are many ... oddities. One is that the three upstairs bedrooms are all in a row. The girls' rooms were the original two bedrooms and are connected by a small hallway -- but our room was added later and has its own stairway and hallway, which complicates things. The middle room is Bea's and can be reached by two different doors, connected to each of the two stairways. (I realize this probably makes no sense; this is where I skim/skip in every book I've ever read - when they start describing layouts of things I get a snack.)

Harper usually goes through the middle room to reach us on the other side, but I've put the nix on that for obvious reasons. So now she'll go out through her attached bathroom, walk alongside the back of the house through a crazy, long, hidden hallway that opens up to our attic and holds our laundry stuff, and deposits her at the master bedroom.

Should be an exciting journey for us all. *insert mouthless emoji face* *and maybe the flamenco dancer one*
