time for a big girl bed!

Maddie got a new house, and a new room so we figured it was time for a new bed! A big girl bed!!! Grammie and Grandad bought it for her and even delivered it right to her bedroom last week!

After Daddy and Grandad figured out the bedrail (complete with nightlight and cup holder), she took it for a test drive.

I think it helped that Grammie and Grandad were involved- it made it that much more exciting for her. Here she is testing it out with them.

She's done excellent with the transition. She wanted to nap in her crib a few times after we set up the bed, but she's been in the BGB ever since! We've even be able to leave her in there with a few books and she puts herself to sleep. Its amazing.

Check out the excitement on that face!

Next step? Getting Baby Caroline into Maddie's old crib. She's slept in the crib the past few nights but she's still getting up to eat every 2-3 hours so after my second trip into her room I usually bring her into our room. Once she starts sleeping 4-5 hour stretches in there - I'll be one happy mommy!
