Megan's Big Girl Bed

Just the bed with the quilt Grandma Kim made.

On Friday we went to Costco and bought Megan a twin mattress.  With the crib being at the lowest setting it is just too hard for me to put her down into it without waking her up.  So usually I just hold her for naps and then Tony puts her down at nights.  But with green beans starting it will just be me at nights, so we thought we'd just get Megan her bed now.

We set it up and she (and the boys) loved it right away.  We didn't buy a box spring to go with it because that would make it too high for her to reach.  So we had a bed frame and we just put a board on the frame before we put on the mattress.  It works out really good for little kids just starting in a big kid bed.
The Kids enjoyed jumping all over it and having a grand time. Megan has done pretty good so far sleeping in her new bed.  We either lay down with her and give her her bottle or we rock with her and then put her down.  She has done great with her bed at naps time too.  It has been nice being able to get things done and not be stuck in a chair holding Megan while she naps.  Nights have been pretty good.  She sleeps for several hours but still wakes at nights.  Tony or I then go in and lay with her until she goes back to sleep.  Some day she will sleep all through the night...ahh...someday.

So far she hasn't fallen out of the bed, so that is very good.  The crib has been taken down and put down stairs.  I guess when we know for sure that we're done having kids then we can sell it or give it to someone who needs it.  That is kind of exciting to think about.
