we had a pretty epic around our house.
penelope got her first big girl bed!
we have been talking about doing it for a while, since she started sleeping on a mat for naptime as suzies. so we have had some ideas in work and even bought the bed (on craiglist, where else?) a few weeks back. everytime penny passed the bed she would talk about "my big girl bed"
we decided to quit torturing her and make the move. we took her to pick out her own big girl mattress this weekend and she was overjoyed. kept saying "i just so excited, i just so happy" and yelling "my big girl bed" over and over... video footage below :)
we then went to pick out her pillow and let her do the picking on that as well... she was just so happy to be part of the choosing :)
we werent totally ready with the bed itself but we gave her the option to sleep on just the mattress next to the baby and she jumped out.
weren't sure what to expect, but did NOT expect it to go so smooth. she kept laying in bed with her amrs by her side saying "i lay like this in my big girl bed" and "i so happy"
we read a book, gave some kisses (took some photos) and close the door. not a peep for another 12 hours.
she napped there the next day, and then we actually finished the bed the next night, so sunday night was first time "IN" the bed... again - no worries - she rocked it and loves it there so much.
she told me today after her bath "i like my bed. it fun in there" love that girl
well that easier :)
some photos below.. will do a grand room reveal MUCH later - too much to do. but the bed we did ourselves. found one on craigslist for 10 bucks, paintd it gray, then spraypainted white through lace for the effect - and i LOVE it :
still more work to do - can't wait to share.
oh.. the "bumpers".. couldnt find rails that worked with the bed, so we just bought swim noodles and put them under the sheet between the mattress - works pretty well :)
i can't believe i have a big girl. not gonna lie... there were some watery eyes.
