Big girl bed

As you all know Arianna has been sleeping in our bed for the past 9 months, actually it's more like her entire life, cause she was always back and forth between her crib and our bed. Last night Uncle Chris brought over a toddler bed to see if Arianna would like it. We'll just let the pictures speak for themself.

As you can tell she LOVED it! She really needed a bath so after she laid on her bed for a few minutes I asked if she was ready for a bath and she shook her head 'no'. She loves her bath time so I know the new bed was a hit. After a nice warm bath she was back on her bed.

We put her bed right next to ours so she was enjoying climbing up and down.

After 10 minutes of that I was able to convince her to lay in her own bed and fall asleep.


Doesn't she look comfortable?

Not only did she fall asleep in her own bed, she slept through the night, and it wasn't until 5am that I ended up putting her in bed with me.

This afternoon she took a 2 1/2 hour nap in her bed and I'm hoping for another successful night!

How adorable she looks! I can't wait to get Vaeh lying flat, let alone in her own bed! My first goal is to get Gabby back in her bed. Since Daddy's gone most of the week she usually ends up with me. Oh well, the joys of parenting!

Thanks for the cute pics! Give her big hugs & kisses from us!

She looks so comfortable in her big girl bed! I guess the timing was exactly right. I'm glad it was such an easy transition and she's so happy about it. What a cutie!
