This summer Lily started begging for a big girl bed. Since she was fully potty trained (even at night) and could crawl in and out of her crib on her own, we decided she was ready for one. We wanted to keep the rest of the furniture in her room but couldn't find anything to match the wood color so we settled on an iron bed that would match anything. Unfortunately, that meant it was a special order that would take 6-8 weeks to deliver. I'm pretty sure Lily asked us every.single.day. for 6-8 weeks if her bed was coming that day! Finally, in mid-September, we got a call that it was ready!

| Lily's last night in her crib! |
We had to take down her crib the night before delivery so she had to sleep on the floor that night.
She was one happy little girl the day her big girl bed was delivered! She has done great sleeping in her bed. She does not get out of it at night without permission and calls me any time she needs to get up to go to the bathroom.
About a week after the transition, she started begging for Eden to have a sleepover on the trundle in her room. I finally agreed, which upset Parker because he wanted to be included in the sleepover too. After some creative thinking, we used Lily's old crib mattress and let all three of them sleep in Lily's room. I'm not sure how much they actually slept that night, but they sure did have fun!
What a bittersweet time for me! It made me sad to know that no one in this house will ever sleep in a crib again but it was so fun to watch the excitement on Lily's face as she officially became a big girl!
