Move to the big girl bed

In the past several months, Jayna has gone through something of a developmental growth spurt that has really changed her from "baby" to "little girl". It's bittersweet. I miss the baby, but at the same time, it is SO fun to watch her personality emerge. Another milestone this week...

Since Evan will soon be needing the crib, we decided to switch Jayna over to the "big bed". And thank you God....she made the transition so easily! I wasn't worried that she would have a hard time with it; in fact, I knew she would be excited. But I WAS worried that she would take advantage of her ability to escape her bed and not stay in it. Well, she has not climbed out of her bed once! Even in the morning, she sits and reads books until one of us goes in and gets her.

We also bought her some new bedding for her birthday, and it is so stinkin' cute. I liked it on the shelf at Target, but I loved it when I put it on her bed! I also found some wall decals online that go with the theme...we'll add those later. The top picture was of her initial reaction to her new bedspread...she was quite pleased. :)
