Big Girl Bed

I am such a very proud mommy!  Our little Lily moved into her new room and "big girl bed" this weekend and she did so very well!  We started her off in the new bed on Saturday afternoon for her nap, we made a big deal of it all and really tried to make it exciting.

After leaving the room (and her telling us to leave the door open), we could hear movement on the monitor.  Up went DH to check on her and upon opening the door, he found the little munchkin in the middle of the room playing on the floor. So he lifted her up and put her back into her bed to nap. Again we heard movement and this time found her near the bedroom door ready to make an escape. Back into the bed she went and that was that! She slept perfectly and she has done so ever since (without getting out her bed I might add).  She sleeps through and calls for us in the morning, telling us how she slept in her big bed the "whole night!"

So another milestone accomplished in my baby's journey of life. Exciting and proud moment but also another sad, cruel reminder of her quickly they grow up. No more nights in her cot or "baby bed".  Now it is Zac's turn to make the big move from moses basket next to my bed to the cot in his nursery. Another bitter-sweet moment for this mommy.
