BIG GIRL BED!

Our baby girl (she'll always be my baby girl) is sleeping in a "big girl bed" now!! :) We didn't force it - and were actually keen on the idea of keeping her in her crib as long as possible. However, with all of our traveling, she has grown quite accustommed to sleeping in big beds...so she started asking to sleeep in the twin bed in her room. We started out w/ naps - but after day 2...she wanted in there all the time! So far - so good! She hasn't tried to get up even one time - and she's been sleeping from 8pm to 8am!! LIFE IS GOOD (right now!).

It was so cute when after the first morning - Kennedy came walking into our room w/ a glowing smile on her face...she came and got in bed with us and was just so proud that she had been a big girl all night! Jon commented that one of his dreams of having kids was seeing them run and jump into bed with us in the mornings...and we have been able to experience that the past few days. :) Yesterday - Jon took apart the crib and put it in the attic. We thought perhaps Kennedy would react badly...but she was overjoyed when some of her toys from downstairs were able to be moved into her room!! (SO WAS I!!) :) So far - so good!
