Kate was 20 months old on July 2. The big news around here for the last week has been Kate's transition from her crib to her big girl bed. The new bed was delivered on Friday June 24th and she slept in it for the first time that night. She did half way fall out of the bed (her bed has a trundle that we pulled out and she caught herself with her hands on the trundle and her legs were still in the bed) that night but handled it well. We haven't had any other problems at all since then. Kate's done great with her naps and bedtime! I guess she could sense she needed to make room for little sister. We left the crib in her room the first couple of nights as a "just in case" but moved it out last Sunday since she had done so great the first couple of nights. We wanted it to be out of sight and mind. I'm sure we're still due for some interesting nights in the future but the first week and a half has been perfect!
Big girl so proud of her new bed! This was the day it was delivered.

And these are after. I still have a good bit of work to do. As you can see there are no decorations and I am going to get a few more things (a bookcase and a chair or little table and chair set). Her bedside table will eventually go beside the bed too once we stop using the trundle on a regular basis for fall prevention. I hope to have the room totally finished before little sister arrives. We'll see if I'm successful on that front.
We also want to wish everyone a Happy 4th of July!! We've had a great long weekend, spending time with family yesterday and looking forward to time with some good friends today!
