First let me preface this by saying that I can't believe that I have a 2 1/2 year old who is ready to be moved into a toddler bed. Wasn't it just yesterday that I found out that I was pregnant and wasn't it just yesterday that you were born? I can't believe how fast time is flying!
You are growing bigger by the minute so it was time that we put you in a toddler bed aka a BIG GIRL BED! This was a bittersweet move for Mommy - so ecstatic that you are growing and becoming a big girl but really sad that you no longer are a baby. Mommy really misses the baby stage!
This is your before bed
Daddy starting to take it apart
You were supposed to be practicing laying on your big girl bed but instead were jumping on it. <sigh>
Daddy reading the instructions
You decided to help...sort of
Now you're really helping Daddy
Just like Daddy. I'm not sure if this is an inherited trait or you do it because you see Daddy doing it.
Almost finished!
Your Big Girl Bed was an instant hit!
Of course, you wanted Daddy to try it out with you
Hawkeye wanted to join in the fun
Daddy is just a tab bit big for the bed, don't cha think?
"All ready for Night Night Mommy in my Big Girl Bed!"
You are absolutely in love with your big girl bed. And have done quite well with the transition I might add. We were afraid that you would fall out or worse, get out of bed, play around or open the door and come out to the living room. But you haven't done any of those! You stay in the bed all night - you climb in, I say goodnight getting my oh so wonderful kisses and hugs and then you don't get out until I get you up in the morning. It's a beautiful thing! I think you haven't figured out yet that you can get out and play.....I know that the time is coming. Mommy and Daddy are enjoying this time right now that's for sure!
Your big girl bed is all you can talk about in the mornings when you get up. You say "I wake up Mommy" or "Emma big girl bed" I just love having little conversations with you, it definitely is the best part of my day!
