A Big-Girl Bed



Part of getting ready for a new baby brother means getting your very first toddler bed!

My sister found this bed at a garage sale for $20. It's missing one shutter on the front, but Ellie doesn't even mind. She just opens and closes the shutter that's there, as if you can't see anything on the other side as long as that shutter is closed!

Ellie has been sleeping with her mom more than she has been sleeping in her crib, but now that she has her own bed she has very willingly slept in her own room! (I think it's been harder on her mom than her!) AND, as a bonus, she's discovered the bed doubles as a very good trampoline.

Right after we finished putting it together, she grabbed a book and laid on her bed to look at it. As we watched her, we all had the same thought . . . where did our baby go?

And what an amazing and beautiful little girl lies here instead.

I'm afraid Bergen (who just turned 2 last week) will be climbing out of his bed in a matter of weeks. I do not look forward to that day! He's so busy...he'll never stay in the bed!!
