New big bed

So we finally broke down and decided to try and put Heidi in a big bed. Today was the first day of it. We just have the bed on the floor, when she doesn't fall out we will put it up on the bed frame. I really want to get her a cute bed spread too. They have some really cute ones at Target, but I have to get there first, so for now this lovely quilt will do. I wanted to make one for her, but I think my ambition has run out. We also took down the crib today, mostly for me, so I don't revert back and put her back in it! It would be so tempting on some days I'm sure. She is excited I think. I was excited to buy new pink sheets! I wouldn't have bought pink, but they were on clearance and we needed some, so hey, I'm only having one girl why not live it up!

So for her nap today I read her a book and put her in her bed and kissed her good night and shut the door, thinking she couldn't open the door. Well, she was out pretty fast. So I took the door knob off from the inside and shut the door. I still don't think she is asleep and it's been an hour. I'm hoping she learns this before we go to Island Park. Whenever we have to sleep by her in a bed, she is terrible to go to sleep, she wants to make sure we are comfortable and have enough blankets around our necks and stuff. I hope we are doing the right thing.

Potty training for her is going good, she has a huge bladder we have decided. She stays dry at night and then doesn't want to go in the morning either. She is starting to dance when she needs to go, which is nice becuase I know to take her. She is so funny.

Everyone else is doing good. Darin is busy making a headboard for Brandon's bed. It's fun for him to do and figure things out. Basketball is done for Brandon he really enjoyed it this year and learned a lot. All the boys, but especially the biggest boy, has a green house going in our furnace room downstairs. They have all kinds of plants growing. I am glad they are doing it and enjoy it so much. I should take a picture so you can see.

Well, hope everyone is good. We can't wait to see some of you this weekend in Island Park, the boys are SOO excited about it.

That is pretty exciting, I hope that it gets better for you. I am dreading ever moving Thomas to another bed, but everyone does it at some point I guess. We are excited to see you guys too, I only wish we could be there longer than a day. Good luck with sleep!
