Big Girl Bed (April 4, 2008)


Well, it's official. Catherine is a big girl. She slept for the first time in her new room in her big bed! We surprised her with Dora pillows on the bed which she absolutely LOVED!!!


Here, Catherine is peeking through the mesh wall of the bed rail while holding on to her big Dora pillow/doll.


I always thought Catherine had a big head (she's always been in the 90% percentile) until now. Dora definitely has her beat! :)


We put her in her bed, prayed with her and told her not to get out of bed and to call us if she needed us. And that was the last we heard of her until morning!!! When we went in to get her in the morning, she was so excited about her Dora pillows. She LOVES her bed. Right now, she is happily taking her nap in her new bed. Hopefully, this will continue to be an easy transition, as we only have about 8 weeks (or more or less) until baby #2 will arrive!!!

I'm glad Catherine doesn't mind sharing the bed with Dora. Hope they stay on their own respective sides so no fights break out!

Really, glad she did so well. I can see why she didn't mind staying in bed to play with those Dora pillows!

Aunt Christy is so proud of Catherine and her big girl bed. Who wouldn't want to sleep in such a fun bed with all those Dora pillows? Hope it is still going well since this post was about 10 days ago!
