Big Girl Bed

I love this milestone!  I don’t know what it is about moving the baby out of their crib and into a big bed that makes me so excited!  We moved Ryder when he turned 2 so we followed suit with Maisy.  It’s always a little nerve wracking because you just don’t know if they’re ready until you actually do it, but we went for it and all went well!

We had to take the crib apart to get that out of her room before we could put the bed together!  I say WE as if I had anything to do with it, have I mentioned how much I love my husband?!  Oh wait, he did have one little helper!

Okay so maybe it would have gone a little faster if the “helper” did a little less “helping” but…after hours of taking things apart and putting things together, he couldn’t wait to be the first to lay on the bed!

It wasn’t long before the crazies came in ready to test out the bed…and by that I mean jump on it!

And then it was officially time to spend her first night ever in her first big girl bed.  She wasn’t scared, until brother said “Don’t be scared Maisy!”.  Then she realized that yeah, this is a little scary.  She wanted me to stay and lay with her, and got upset when I left.  So I sent Daddy, aka the Maisy Whisperer, in to talk to his girl and after a few minutes I heard “okay daddy, night night, I love you so much” over the monitor, her bedroom door shut, and that was that!Photo 5

Night 1 was a success.  Night 2 brother wanted to sleep with her, so I found them like this when I went in to wake them up!Photo 7

Little cuties!  So glad our big girl loves her big girl bed :)

So proud of her! She looks so tiny in that big bed :). Can't believe we're (well YOU'RE) at this milestone already... maybe for the last time! *Tear*

I alway's got excited about this milestone too. I love picking out their new bed set and everything. I love the pic of the two of them sleeping. All 3 of mine end up that way in Harley's bed. :-)
