Movin' On Up...

May I have your attention please?! We now have a Big Girl in the house... sleeping in a big girl bed to prove it! Check out the new bed! Well, new to Charlotte... the bed was actually Mary-Margaret's, and MM's grandmothers before that (Mary Virginia), and her grandmothers bed before that (Mary Lattimore). Yep - that makes the bed over 150 years old! As far as I can see, I (MM) am the only one who scratched their initials on the foot board. Whoops. Well, adds character, right? Anywho -

Charlotte had outgrown the crib and is such a good sleeper, we felt it was time to make the switch. We don't have bedding yet (just sheets) and we will be changing the room decor a bit once the new bedding is here - but we just couldn't stand it any longer... she needed some room to sleep! So, up it went - and she kept saying, "Dig gurl bed!" (= big girl bed) as Daddy put it together. The bed is a 3/4 bed, meaning it is in between a twin and a full. So, there is plenty of room for Charlotte and her babies.

It has been a total success! She moved into the bed Sunday night - and every morning since, we have had to wake her up for school!! I guess she is just so comfy! She hasn't tried to get out or get up in the middle of the night... just sleeping! *knock on wood* I'll post new pics once the room decor and bedding is updated!
