Big Girl Bed

Over the weekend I found a smokin' deal on a toddler bed for Brynn on Craigslist.com. Her crib converts to a toddler bed but she didn't like that at all, so we decided to try out a toddler bed that looks completely different from her crib.

She saw it when I brought it home yesterday and was all excited. We left it in the garage last night and wanted her to get excited about it instead of trying to force it on her. Well, it worked.

We keep calling it her "big girl bed" or the "cool bed" and she just thinks it is the most awesome thing ever. We always walk out through the garage in the morning when we leave, so she saw it this morning and started freaking out and saying "my bed mommy, my bed!!" and then sat on it for a minute before we left for the day. Then after dinner, we were going on a walk to the mailbox and she got really excited again. She almost cried when we walked in the house because she couldn't see it anymore. So, we decided it was time.

She helped us clean it off and put all of her blankets (all 15,000 of them) on the bed, along with her pillow (she calls it a "poo-dough") and her bears. Then, she decided that she didn't want anything on the bed and threw all of it off. Then, she put everything back on... and took it back off... etc. Whatever, it kept her busy. :) Then, we told her to sit on the bed so we could take some pictures and she smacked her cheek on the side of it. She was a tough girl though, no tears were shed.

Here are some pictures of Brynn in her new "cool bed".

"Oh my gosh, this is SO COOL!!"



"I just totally whacked my cheek on my new bed but I'm a tough girl"



"I LOVE IT!!"
