Big girl bed!

So I finally converted Danica's crib to a toddler bed. I know that it's odd that an almost three year old was still in a crib but she never tried to climb out of it. So why change it. Plus she moves around so much when she sleeps. I just finally put a pillow in her bed last week. She is completely into Dora and Diego right now so I found a Dora pillowcase which she carried around by itself for 2 days before I even put it on the pillow. The look on her face yesterday when I took the side off the crib was just hilarious! She climbed right up onto the bed and was just so pleased with herself! I had to get her out of my way while I put the side rails on because they weren't the easiest thing to do by myself. Jason and I had picked up a new Dora sheet set and fleece blanket for her at Target Sunday. When we handed her the blanket to hold at the store she said "Oh, thank you much!" She then proceed to snuggle it the rest of the time we were at the store, and in the car on the way home.

I put the sheet on before she went to bed last night and she snuggled right down in her "big girl bed" She is very proud of her bed. We figured it was time to change it with since we attempting potty training. I say attempting because she hasn't quite caught on. But we don't use any diapers any more and just use the more expensive pullups! But Dani loves her "big girl panties" They also have Dora on them. Do you sense a theme here?
She didn't take a nap yesterday (of course) so when it was time for bed she was so tired. She barely finished singing twinkle twinkle and was asleep shortly after I left the room. She didn't get up until I went to get her in the morning after I heard her call for me. We'll see how long that lasts!

sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but it won't last long and you'll be locking her in her room!

Eleanor is still in her crib. We're going to have to make the switch sooner or later so Phaedra will have a bed. I'm not looking forward to it.
