Big Girl Beds!

Well the time has come for the big girl beds.....the moment I have been dreading since I realize they wouldn't be able to sleep in a crib forever. I was reading on line at babycenter.com that my kids should have been in a big girl bed 4 months ago. Or it said they should be trying out the big girl bed. So, we went shopping for beds.

We found these great little toddler beds that were affordable (considering we were going to use our baby beds as twin beds until we found out how much guard rails were). So I thought with these being lower to the ground it would be easier on the girls and keep me from worrying as much about them falling out. I feel as if I was dupped! All I manage to do was to make it easier for them (my crafty little ones) to escape. They are getting better, but who knew this would be a milestone marked with crying, spakings, and 3:30 a.m. visits to the nursery.....again! So all you parents out there that haven't done the "big" girl/boy bed yet......be prepared to revert to the first 12 weeks of your children's lives when you were up and down every couple of hours. Of course I am sure this isn't true of all precious toddlers.....probably just a result of having a co-conspirator!

Our first night in our "big girl" beds.

You can see in the corner of the picture that dad left the cribs up (the first night).......just in case at midnight I changed my mind. His exact words......I don't want to be putting cribs BACK together at midnight.....a wise man!

I think maybe we need to invest in a more comfy mattress for Molly! She loves sleeping on her pillow.
