Room for One More

Room for one more was a thought that God placed in my heart as we prayed about adopting again. When we purchased our home a few years ago, the four bedrooms were "perfect" for us, two kids, and an office. And now that office is the "perfect" space for Maeli's room!

I've spent this past week finishing up her room as Spring Break comes to an end and we need to begin to focus on travel details, learning Chinese, and preparing to become a family of 5!

At first I hesitated to decorate her room without her input. But after reading articles and books on how overwhelming making such decisions are for children who are used to routine and not making decisions for themselves, I decided to decorate for her. I didn't want to overwhelm her and I didn't want her room to be empty or bare since the other two kiddos have decorated rooms. We hope she likes her room and if not, Emma has decided she does and would gladly allow Maeli to redecorate her room, lol!

Since she is loves music and the color blue, I decided to incorporate those into her room along with her Chinese history and culture.

Here's a look:
