BIg Girl Bed

We have been blessed with a child who does not climb out of her crib, so we were not in a rush to switch her to a big girl bed. However, she'll be three next month, so it's time.
This was her reaction when she saw her new big girl bed.
She really likes it! I wanted to keep with the same color scheme of pinks, lime green and red mainly so I wouldn't have to buy new curtains. Her red curtains are black out curtains... and not cheap. Do you know how hard it is to find cute bedding with these colors that does not cost $200? Well, we did it... with a little help from "Aunt" Cindy.

Sorry for the wonky angle. Andy was trying to avoid the crib which was still in her room. We have some adjusting to do. We just put it together quickly last night, so she could sleep in it.

Not that easy getting into, but she can do it.

"Just my size." Well, times 2. We only got a double bed because we found the headboard first for only $50. The plan is for it to hold us over until Andy can make a headboard to match her dresser, so we were thrilled to find something inexpensive.

Ready for bed. She did not want the pillow or the blanket, but she'll get used to it.

The night was a success!!! She did not wake up, fall off or get out of bed. This morning, she woke us up with her typical call: "Mommy! Mommy?"I went to get her and she stood up in bed and shouted, I slept in my big girl bed!" She was so proud, and we are, too. Right now, she's taking her first nap in her bed. It has been successful, too.
