Another Milestone...

E took another step towards 'big girlhood' this weekend!

She said good-bye to her baby jail crib...

And hello to her toddler bed!

In the first picture she is standing on the toddler bed that we had set up next to the crib for a couple of nights to be sure she was willing to give the crib the old heave-ho. Indeed she was! After two nights I asked her if it was time to put the crib away and say "bye-bye" to it and she gave a resounding "YES!" and said "tib go 'way"..."bye-bye tib!"

She had a great first few nights in her new bed and the transition is going pretty well. Last night was a bit rough because she did not take a nap until late in the afternoon and it screwed up her sleep patterns. All part and parcel of the transition process (what with the newfound freedom that means she doesn't HAVE to stay in her bed at nap time...sigh...) but we are hoping for a better night tonight. I just need to try to find a way to ensure a timely nap! Wish me luck, I think I'm going to need it.

Oh, and if you know of anyone in a market for a nice, gently used crib let us know! After nearly 8 years of having babies in the house we are more than ready to say "Bye-bye crib!" for good.
