Three babies, two blankets, two giraffes, and a doggie.  These are the things Eve is sleeping with in her new big girl bed!!!  She likes to cuddle with things and I’ve been taking them out of her toddler bed lately because there just wasn’t enough room, but now she can sleep with whatever she likes!!  And hopefully she’ll sleep later than 5am!!  (It’s been rough these past few weeks with her 5am wakings!)

We bought a bed through Grampy Don’s company and they came up today to deliver.  The excitement over Eve’s new big girl bed has been building as we bought her new sheets last week (you can see them on Lex’s bed in the picture below) and picked up a boxspring a few days ago.  Today was the final culmination!  She was so excited, but insisted on napping in her toddler bed (instead of my bed where she usually sleeps better) for one final time.

The kids tested out the bed (Jumpable?  Check!) and “helped” us put the sheets on and basically wore themselves out with excitement :)  I took them down to watch a show while Grammy Lynn built a shiny purple crown headboard sort of thing.  Eve says “there’s a crown on my bed.”  :)

Welcome to your big girl bed, baby girl!!  May it serve you well for many years.

Ok, so she went to bed happily at 7pm, slept until about 9pm, and is now up and wide awake.  Hmm…  Now I’m worried she’ll sleep too late in the morning and I’ll have to wake her up to get Lex to school.  Sigh.
