Big Girl Bed

Ruby finally {I say finally because it took forever for the furniture to arrive} made the transition to her big girl bed. It was super easy. For the most part she lays right down and goes to sleep. The biggest obstacle has been having the girls get used to sharing a room ... although I know it will get better with time.

I wasn't sure she would give up her crib and thought that maybe we would have to take it down before the new baby arrives, but she LOVES to sleep in her new bunk bed and now calls the crib baby Lyla's bed!

The first night I put her to bed I didn't put up the guard rail {on the bottom bunk}. I wanted to see how she did without it. As Logan and I were going to bed that night I decided that maybe I would put it up so I didn't worry about her falling out of bed all night. We walked into her room and she was snuggled up nice and cozy on the floor. She had fallen out and it didn't even wake her. It was the funniest and saddest thing.

I can 't believe how big she looks all tucked into her big girl bed. It is hard to see her grow up. I still see her as my baby. {sigh!}

It's Time ....

for Ruby to have a room!

Ever since Ruby was born she has been sleeping in our loft upstairs (which is essentially a family room). She started out there as a newborn because I can't sleep with my babies in my room ( I worry about every noise they make and don't get any sleep) ... and at 16 months she is still there because big sis won't share her room! She throws a huge fit at the thought of having Ruby sleeping in the same room. We even had Sophie and Collin try sharing a room but that just led to late night playings and two grumpy kids in the morning. And after several days they each just wanted their own rooms back. Sigh.

Having Ruby in the loft really hasn't been bad. Just recently though, it has become more of a problem. Occasionally Ruby needs to go to bed before the older two and it is hard to put them down without waking her up. And on occasion Logan has to get up really early for work and therefore Ruby wants to wake up that early too because he is walking through her room to go downstairs. And when she sees a light on downstairs all hope of her sleeping longer is lost.

Anyways ... Ruby is getting her own room. We are putting up a wall in loft making it a bedroom. I am so excited about it. I am even going to venture into painting it a color. Something my house doesn't have much of!

umm ... and oh yeah! I just might splurge and order some of these to go in it! They would look so cute hanging above her crib.

Aren't those the cutest poms ever?!?!
