Little White Bed

Avery moved to a girl bed last night! It actually made me a little sad knowing I'd never see one of my kids sleeping in a crib again :( My mom made some really cute sheets (since the mattress is an odd shape) and bought a twin comforter to match. Aunt Lindsay painted the bed white to match her room and it looks terrific! She finished it yesterday but Daniel worked late and couldn't get home to assemble it until after Avery went to bed. But he decided to do it anyway, so we moved Avery to a temporary pallet on the floor while Daniel disassembled the crib (which Cousin Sage will be borrowing for a while since she is getting a baby brother in a few days...after which we'll get it back and convert it to a full bed!) and put Avery's "new" bed together. It was a great plan and she slept right through the transition! I actually had to wake her up this morning, so I don't know how she would have reacted if she'd woken up in there on her own. Aidan had no problem moving to this bed when he was 20 months old, and Avery seems to have followed suit...but the real test will come today when I put her down for a nap! Anyway, it's neat that she's another special child in the family that gets to sleep in The Little Red Bed!


UPDATE: She's been sleeping great and waking up great. She hasn't tried to climb out yet but I predict it's coming :)
