Big Girl Bed!

A couple of weeks ago, we finally bought Em's mattress and set up her big girl bed.  We ordered the conversion kit around her birthday, but it took forever to come in--her crib converted to a toddler bed and she's been in that for about a year.  Lately, she really just seemed to be running out of room, and she moves around so much at night, we knew she'd be more comfortable in this full size bed.

She loves it!  The first couple of nights were challenging because I had to go in twice to pick her up off the floor and put her back in bed--you can see her toddler mattress under the bed in this picture because I finally brought that in and put it by the bed.

Then we decided to build a wall of pillows, and that seemed to work, because she hasn't rolled out since.

Now for the job of redecorating--she told me the other day "no more butterflies."  She's decided she wants a circus room, complete with donkeys and a ringmaster.  She's very specific :).
