Ellie's Big Girl Bed...
Well, in case you didn't know... on St. Patrick's Day (Monday) Ellie fell out of the crib trying to get out that morning. I always told myself that once she starts trying to get out on her own then it is time for an upgrade! Well, the time is here so Wednesday after school and work Ellie and I ventured out in the rain to go shopping. Friday afternoon we took down her crib and built her bed. I say we because she "helped" and almost lost some screws. And no matter what some people may say... No, there aren't any extra pieces! So anyway, here is Ellie in her big girl bed...Smiling for the camera...
No, no jumping on the bed, just sleeping!!
Ellie in bed with her new princess-esque comforter. What a silly monkey!!
This is just how wound up and excited she was that night... running around watching b-ball naked with snow boots and a puffy vest. And no, she didn't get that from me, and there is no telling where she did get it!
UPDATE... She has been doing well in her bed. She will wake up occasionally but she will go back to sleep and so far she has stayed in her bed all night long. Way to go Ellie! The added bonus... Schatzie has not joined her in bed either, lucky me!
