Big Girl's Bed

With baby sister's due date less than a month away it was time to transition K from her crib to a twin bed. Here was her room with the crib.

And here is her room now with her new big girl's bed. K picked out her own sheets and duvet cover. She decided on stars.

The first night when K slept in the twin bed she was really excited.  She got in and out of her bed at least 10 times before going to sleep. She realized all the freedom she had and it became a game to her to climb out. This happened for a few nights. It got to the point she ended up having to get a time out if she climbed out.  She wakes up at 5am each morning and opens Mommy and Daddy's door. Mommy ends up sleeping with K in the guest room. It's too challenging to sleep on her floor now that Mommy is so big and wait for her to fall back asleep and K does not want to sleep with Daddy. Wish Daddy and Mommy luck when the baby comes if K continues to wake up!

It's been a week and she still climbs out, but it has decreased to 2-3 times before falling asleep. Hopefully the novelty wears off soon. She has found a companion to sleep with and made room for Pooh Bear. He even has his own pillow and she makes sure he has some blankie, so he won't be cold.

Over the weekend was Uncle Pete's birthday. For dessert Uncle Peter requested milkshakes. Courtney and K had strawberry ice-cream at the Creamery in Palo Alto. Can you tell how happy the girls were to eat ice cream!
