We were out and about in South Bend -- doing some shopping -- and ran across a mattress sale at a local store. Seeing as how Rhy is already five months older than Ash was when he made the big move to a twin-size bed, we decided to take the bull by the horns and go for it.
Tonight, we set up her new "Big Girl Bed" in her room. Rhy was delighted ... as you can see by the photos.
I'm excited for my girl, but still found my eyes watering as I reached in to pull her from the crib for the last time, feeling her little fingers curl around my neck.
Why do babies have to grow up so quickly?
One last time in the crib. Sniffle!!
A big smile as she tries out the new bed.
I love the look on her face here. It's as if she's thinking ... "Is this how it's done??"
Daddy does the first trial run, "tuck-in." One of the reasons I really love the new bed is that we can get down on her level to smooch her face goodnight ... or even climb into bed with her to give her a cuddle if she wants.
"Mother! Please!!" Such sass!
All snuggled in and ready to go ... complete with rag curls for the next day!
One last goodnight? No, it wasn't the last. As I blog this, she's STILL awake ... staying in bed ... but too excited to sleep in it!
