Last night was Lena's first night in her big girl bed. A couple of weeks ago we switched bedrooms upstairs so that Lena and the baby can share the larger room. We painted both rooms and ordered Lena a toddler bed. We got it yesterday and put it together. She was so excited.
New bed with lady bug sheets and comforter.
When we brought her up to see it, she climbed right in and tried to get under the covers.
She wanted to go "night night" in it right away! (She was overdue for a nap that day.)
She loves her new bed!
The first night went really well. She didn't wake anymore than she usually does. My biggest worry was that she would get into things in her room when she woke up in the morning. When we heard her stirring this morning, Jim went in there to find her running around in circles instead. We think she was just so excited about being able to get out of bed by herself. I'm sure there will be times when we walk in to find diapers strewn about the room and bookshelves cleared of books, but I guess that comes with the territory. And it will provide lots of opportunities for lessons on cleaning up!
Even though the baby will sleep in a bassinet in our room for a while after she is born, it's nice to know that the crib is now available whenever she is ready.
Here is a pic of Lena and me on Mother's Day. We had a nice day. After church we went out to lunch and then came home and took a nice long nap (exactly what I wanted!).
Only 19 more days until Baby arrives! We are super excited and totally ready!
