Big girl bed

Last night was the night we made the move to the "big girl" bed for Julia. Her room is almost complete, just adding some finishing touches now. It is done enough for her to sleep in. We bought sheets for her new bed yesterday. I still need to get a blanket for the bed and Debbie is still working on the quilt top, but we can just use her quilts from her crib until then.

Here she is as we tucked her in.



She is AWESOME!!! I was expecting a fight to keep her in the bed. She tried to get out when I was tucking her in, but I explained to her that just like when she sleeps in the crib, she is not allowed out until the sun comes back up. (That is the only way we can keep her from climbing out of the crib) Well, it WORKED!! She was asleep in about 30 minutes and did not try to get out ONCE!!!

She did fall out of the bed around 4am this morning and came up to bed with us. But she did fall back to sleep in our bed until 7am. (She almost NEVER sleeps with us.)

I consider this a HUGE success!! Hopefully tonight goes just as well, if not better!!

Julia did look so tiny in the big twin bed. So grown up...... Very bittersweet.
