Big Girl Bed

So its finally official, I don't have a baby anymore. Yesterday, she became a little girl who has her own twin bed, or as we call it, the big girl bed. Mom and I went and bought a bed yesterday in Dickinson and looked high and low for some cute bedding. Came home with a bed, and no cute bedding. Thanks to Mom, I do have some of the bedding from my twin bed when I was at home and my Bambi sheets that I used so much the color is faded where my little body slept on them. That is what Paige got to sleep on last night, and I am thrilled Mom kept the sheets. The bed has my college comforter on it until our fun new one gets here.

Starting last night I have been spending my time working on her room as much as I can. I am not painting, but am hanging up the sparkly flowers and butterflies from the ceiling, taking down the crib, and rearranging the furniture. I need to order the new bedding and find some new thicker curtains. I am taking down all the Pooh stuff, including the curtains Mom made (sorry!). I need new curtains to replace them since someone is up very early now and tells me, "Mom, its daytime out. Its time to get up." And since daytime is going to keep getting earlier, we need to stop the light into her room.

I'll post some pictures when its finished, but here is someone thinking the new bed is really nice. We left it on the floor last night and today put it on the frame.

Also, no one tells you how sad it is to take down the crib. She'd been in it forever since it converted to her toddler bed. I have to admit it was really sad to take it down last night and put it away. It was a chapter closing and made this mom almost shed a tear or two!
