big girl bed

a few weekends ago, joel, lauren and i went to ikea to buy a big girl bed. lauren was very excited and was a great "helper" when we were putting it together. she slept in it the first night and did very well until about 6:30 am when we heard a thump followed by crying. sure enough she had managed to find the one area of the bed that didn't have the guard rail on it and fell out. so after that she decided the crib was a safer place to sleep. but she eventually gave the big girl bed another try and has liked it ever since. one night she came prancing out into the living room around 11:00 announcing to joel and i that she was awake. ( a definite plus to the big girl bed - more freedom). but for the most part she does very well and it seems her crib is becoming a thing of the past.

she likes to line up her stuffed animals, which she calls her "friends".

everyone is in their place and ready for bed.

at least i hope everyone is ready for bed! :)

How sweet is THAT?! Lauren is getting SO big, Joci - she's not a baby anymore! That bedroom is SO adorable. She's already for a baby brother now.

Love ya!
