Big Bed!

Kali is no longer our baby anymore and she is finally moving up in the world as a "Big Girl" with her very own brand new "Big Girl" bed. This has been the big debate for the past few months because I wasn't quite ready to give our little drama queen her freedom yet, especially when she is perfectly fine with her crib. I had talked myself into keeping her in the crib until after the baby comes. Well, to make a long story short I of course got the pregnancy nesting fever and wanted to get the room and crib all ready for the baby and therefore get Kali a new bed. So, we decided to transition her before this baby comes and get her used to the fact that the crib is no longer hers and is going to be for her new baby sister. Anyways, I bought her new bedding a while before we got the bed and so we talked it up and got her all excited to have a new big bed just like Zach. She was so excited and actually loved the idea of a new big bed. So the big day came and we moved out the crib and brought in the "Big Girl" bed and it was all ready for nap time. She actually stayed in the bed and never got out and went right to sleep the FIRST time!! So then I thought she should figure this out pretty quickly...well, bed time rolled around and again it was a piece of cake. She went doewn no problem! So I went to check on her after she was asleep later on and this is what I saw.


I thought it was kinda funny how she was sleeping sideways and she did this for the whole first week. Oh well...whatever works. She still has yet to figure out how much freedom she has. I love it! She still actually sits in her bed and whines until I come get her in the morning and also after naps. It's been a really easy transition and I just hope that she doesn't figure out her freedom right when this baby comes!!! You know that's exactly what's going to happen!!!
