So big I can hardly stand it.
I expected to get a little misty-eyed about seeing my baby girl move out of her crib into a "big girl bed" (aka my son's old toddler bed)...but she is so freaking excited about it that it made me excited, too. (OK, so I may have cheated a little by putting a pink, heart-covered comforter on the bed. She was ALL ABOUT that thing.)
If you recall from this post, my major issue was that I needed to keep our futon in my daughter's room for when guests come to visit, but the room isn't big enough for a futon and a dresser and a toddler-sized bed - I tried, trust me. Kendrick came into the room one night and found me dragging pieces of furniture back and forth trying to find any iteration that worked, and it just wasn't possible. The solution: we picked up an inexpensive narrow dresser that would fit into Goldie's closet, and moved her old dresser into our room. The coolest part: the top of a dresser was a changing table, but it was removable - so we just slid it underneath the futon so it'd be out of sight but still accessible for diaper changes until we're done with potty-training.
