Big Kid Bed

So Leah can crawl out of her crib. We put a twin mattress on the floor for her, and then when we were in the bootheel for the weekend, Sam built her a big kid bed.

She was incredibly excited to find it when we got back. "MY BIG GIRL BED!" She wanted to show and tell everyone about it. James wanted to play with her, and she basically shouted, "big girl bed," over her shoulder as she ran toward it (and usually she is all about playing with James!)

This picture doesn't even do it justice. It was pure, unadulterated joy.

Unfortunately, this extreme excitement led to a late bedtime. Naptime has also become somewhat drawn out since she could escape the crib. She's not contained anymore and sometimes plays with things in her room instead of sleeping (or for a while before sleeping, which means she wants to sleep late into the afternoon, so then I have to wake her up so it won't throw off bedtime too much.) However, it's now four days later and she's still very impressed.
