big girl bed!

We are over a week into Olivia sleeping in her big girl bed, so I feel safe calling the transition a success!  Watch, she will be up all night tonight :)  Ha.  Actually, she has only gotten out of bed one time since we transitioned her and that was because she wanted to take her diaper off because it was wet!  I looked on the monitor and saw she wasn't in bed and immediately sent Andy to investigate.  She was standing in her room with her pajamas off so "she could take off her wet diaper"!  Silly girl.

I am so happy that it went so well!  She seems very comfortable in it and looks like such a big girl!

We made a really big deal about it and let her go to the store to "pick out her new mattress".  In reality, I had already been there and knew which one we were going to buy, but we let her think she was picking one out!  Then we went to the store and she picked out which sheets she wanted.  Of course, she picked out a set of princess sheets that match Jordan's!  No surprise there!  They are a bit obnoxious and the pink does not match the current pink in her room, but she is happy, so who cares!
helping Daddy build her bed!
I snuck in to snap a picture of her after she fell asleep the first night.
She went to sleep without any issues and we were so proud of her!
p.s. Look how BIG she looks!!
Here is Olivia talking about her new big girl bed and being a "big kid"!  At the end she says her full name, but she always adds Louis on to the end (which is Carter's middle name!).  Guess she thinks she needs four names rather than just three ;)

Three cheers to having our girl out of the crib before she turns five (which was my mother's prediction!  Mom, you were wrong ;)
