Monday James and I bought Alexandria a "big girl bed." We figured that we should put her in a bigger bed before the baby comes so she doesn't think he's taking her bed from her. We hadn't explained the details to her, we just told her she was getting a "big girl bed." When our neighbor told her that the crib was going to be baby Clayson's, Alexandria looked up at me and pouted her lip, then walked to the end of the hallway and sat with her head down. I had to make a very big deal about the new bed and instantly she was excited again. When James brought the bed into her room she was so excited! She wanted to jump on the new bed, but that didn't last long. I had to remind her of the song "No more mokeys jumping on the bed." And sure enough she fell off. That night she couldn't wait to get in bed. And Tuesday morning I had to wake her up at 9am because she was still knocked out. It was the same thing last night, although she couldn't sleep as late this morning...she had school. Today when we got home her new bedding had arrived. We set it all up and she kept asking "it's mine, Mommy?" She had to tell Gaga how pretty it was. Right now she's tucked in her "big girl bed" and fast asleep.

Man, she is getting big so fast!
I remember when we got Bryce his first "big bed." It was so fun. Blake had a generation bed and he went from crib to toddler bed, but only lasted in the toddler bed about a month and then went to the huge big bed. Bryn is still using her toddler bed. She doesn't want to grow up. LOL Give Alexandria a hug for me.
Alexandria had been using her toddler bed as well, but we're going to use that crib for Clayson. I wanted her to get use to her new furniture before he arrives.
Yes Eric, she is getting big fast. Time flies...it's amazing!
I can't believe our baby is already in a big girl bed. She was so cute today. She told her Uncle Joey. "my bed is big, it's loooong" GaGa's doll.
