She's in a Big Girl Bed!!!

Over the Christmas Holiday we switched Grace's crib for a big girl bed. My baby days are officially over. That is so sad. I know, some of you are thinking, "ya right, that's what she said after she had Beckham." Really, I'm Serious, No more babies for us.

Grace was at a point where she was clambering out of her crib. I miss hearing her yell for me in the mornings and after her naps. Now she just gets out of bed, runs down the hall(I love hearing that pitter patter of tiny feet, even if it is at 3am in the morning), I roll over, hold out my arms which she robustly jumps into. I let her stay in bed for a few minutes. I'm usually too tired or too out of it to put her right back into bed. I'll admit it, a few minutes might turn into an hour. But eventually I get too uncomfortable and put her back into bed.

This routine has gone on until this past week. Grace finally slept through the night when she didn't get her daily nap. **SIGH** Now I'm really out of the baby stage. Although Grace is my ONLY child to take naps past the age of 2, I'm sad that those are coming to an end too.

The first few days she asked to go down for a nap.  Is that crazy?  She had no problems staying in bed for naps.  It was the night time we struggled with.  


Happily tucked in her big girl bed!




OMGosh!!  Just look at that super happy face!




Could she be any cuter?



Priceless.
