jun, 5th - big girl's bed....

day 877:

we took the side off Limi's bed last week.....mainly because she seemed ready and we're changing the sleep routine in preparation for 'thunderhooves' {see day 785}. there was unbelievable excitement about being able to sit and play in bed, jump around and off the bed and have her very own pillow. it's been going pretty well with only the odd roll-off at night. sometimes resulting in us finding her curled up happily on the pile of blankets next to the bed and at other times the jolt waking her up with tears. 

in the mornings, she wakes up and comes straight into our room and hops into bed with us (which is a real perk.....not having to claw our way out of bed and haul her out of the cot). the only minus being that it's generally earlier than six o'clock.

morning naps are now either in the buggy or the bed depending on what the day holds, except for earlier this week (pic above) where i found her happily curled up half on and half off.

p.s. although i'm a big fan of plain white linen, i have some ideas for homemade linen for Limi's bed.....let's see if i can get my act together.
