I can't either. In my defense, she had NEVER tried to get out & she LOVED her crib so much, & I loved it too! I remember going in her room before she was even here & just sitting in there looking at the crib, just imagining her in it. Then, when we came home, putting her in there that first night & still going in her room & just staring at her! But, I realize she is growing taller & yes...she did turn three. So, Hubby & I decided that after she was better from her tonsils that we would take the plunge!
The fact is I love her big girl bed, actually it was my big girl bed. I slept in that bed all the way through high school & even on the night before my wedding! I think it is so neat that I have now passed it down to my daughter!
She knew it was coming because I had been refinishing her bed & she watched me sanding it down then repainting it & we would talk about her big girl bed & she was excited. Then, the other day we actually purchased her mattresses instead of just going & looking at them. We also let her pickout her very own sheets! We haven't found the perfect quilt for the bed yet, but one step at a time...
From this......
To this....
This morning she was just talking away on her monitor & I went in there & the first thing she said was "Mommy, I'm a big girl".......Yes you are Monkey, yes you are...
