Big Girls Don't Cry


Well, a few weeks ago Adelaide, our baby, took her next step to full fledged "toddlerhood" and learned how to climb out of her crib. So a few days ago we, her parents, took the next step that must inevitably follow and put her in a bed! Who can believe this?? My baby is old enough, big enough, grown enough to be in a bed??She likes to stand by it with a big smile and say "my bed". She LOVES it!! I on the other hand am still a little teary eyed over it. Our friends the Croxalls kindly loaned us their toddler bed for this momentous step. They have two boys so the fact that it is blue works great for them. Doesn't really go with the lavender walls in A's room. And until we get her an official twin this summer we're not going to get her a new bedspread. So she is stuck with Ryan's old dinosaur quilt and pillow. Although her sheet is pink...
Oh, they grow up so fast...

That is great Wendy. We just started Parker in a twin bed last week. I hope little A doesn't enjoy climbing out and waking you up around 6am as much as Parker does.

Well, yesterday she did wake up at 6:30 but lucky for me she went to Ryan's side of the bed. She actually climbed into to bed with us and fell back to sleep. Maybe Parker should take up jogging. That seems to be a popular morning pasttime. Or a paper route perhaps...
