a BIG GIRL bed!
Mark spent the weekend painting our old guest bedroom pink, and by Sunday night, Lauren was ready to sleep in her new bedroom. I am more sad about this than anyone. I can no longer put her video monitor on her and watch her sleep. She is no longer my sweet little baby who slept so good in her crib.
BUT, I am also elated to share that she slept in her bed ALL night last night, and did not get off. I even opened the door to check on her, and she told me to "get out Mommy." She sleeps in the complete dark, with no night-light and no noises. (The no night-light might change once we start potty-training though.) In fact, she is finishing up her nap, and once again, slept the whole time in her bed, without getting out. (Now, I know this will change, but, for now, it makes me very happy.)
Lauren has always surprised us with how easily she transitions from one thing to the next: bottles to sippy cups, nursing to milk to food, and most importantly her sleeping patterns. How nice would it be if she has a GREAT transition to her new baby brother in a few months.

Hooray for smooth transitions! She will have plenty of time to adjust to her new room and bed before having to adjust to a sibling. Love the photo...I remember those days with fondness.
yay!! the fun thing about big kid beds is that now you can cuddle up with her and read her books on HER bed! it's fun!
How fun! Big girl! I can't believe how fast they grow!!! She's so cute. Hope you're feeling well. I sent y'all something in the mail yesterday. :)
I think she transitions well b/c she has a great mom and dad! She is so beautiful!!!
Missie! I can't believe she's in a big girl bad now. I have been gone way too long. Hopefully Lauren will still want to be my friend when I come back to SA.
