BIG GIRL BED

This weekend we checked a big "to do" off of our list. We got Lillian set up in her BIG GIRL bed! And thank goodness the transition from her toddler bed to her new big bed has not been as difficult as the transition from crib to toddler bed. She hasn't gotten out of it once, and really is so excited to be in her new bed. She was such a big helper and loved helping Shaun putting the bed rails together and helping get the plastic off the box springs and mattress. That is one of the things I love about Shaun. While it would have gone much faster if I had just taken Lillian to the other room, Shaun wants her to be involved in what he does and it is always a good way to teach her about little things in life.

We are still waiting on the matching night stand and the bed rails to come in before we can attach the foot board, but until then at least Lillian is getting use to sleeping in a big bed. It has been so nice to be able to lay in the bed with her and read books- I was getting a little big for the toddler bed. In July, when Shaun gets done with his June summer term, we are going to paint both the kids rooms and start getting things more in order.

our Memorial Day house guest, Bella, visited Lillian while she was sleeping her first night in her big girl bed.

*I was definitely caught off guard of how emotional I got over getting rid of Lillian's crib all together. It was the crib sheets that really made me cry...I realized that with a boy coming we wouldn't ever need her sweet butterfly, flowers, pink and purple sweet crib sheets ever again. I am just praying that Alli has a girl so I can at least see all of my little girl things again on another sweet baby.
