Two nights ago when I went to check on Lili she had her complete leg (pass her knee) sticking out from in between the bars of her crib. I came to the conclusion it was time to make the switch and with the new baby coming soon it was sooner or later unavoidable. Plus she tosses and turns so much I was afraid she'd break her leg or something.
Back before we moved out to Arizona I found a beautiful bedroom set at a Yard Sale for $100.00. Part of it was a twin canopy bed. I had one as a kid so I feel in love. She has been using the dresser and night stand, but the bed was at my mom's. Her last trip out she brought it minus a box spring. I found a brand new box spring on craigslist for $20.00 and picked it up yesterday. I didn't realize how expensive bedding was. After hunting through SEVERAL stores I ended up dropping $50.00 for a Disney Princess Comforter and Bed Sheets at Big Lots. Which is pretty good considering a similar set was at Macy's for $140.00.
Her first night went alright it took her hours to be able to fall and stay asleep. Not sure if it was the excitement or her body getting used to something different. She did fall right asleep for her nap this afternoon. The funny thing is that she hasn't realized she can come down by herself yet. When she wakes up she'll stay and wait for me to come and get her like usual.
Her room has been a work in progress since we moved into our rental. Here are pictures from this morning including one of my big girl sleeping in her new princess bed. Now if we could only get her potty trained!
