Big Girl Bed

During our trip to Mexico Lucy slept in a regular bed, albeit with either Sara or me, but in a regular bed nonetheless.  Upon our return Lucy seemed partial to a real bed, so after a couple nights in her crib we decided to give it a shot.  Moving to a bed when you are nearly 3 isn't groundbreaking, but considering we kept Stella in her crib until she was well into her third year, this was big news around here.

At any rate, we pulled Stella's old princess bed out of storage, re-christened it for Lucy with some new Ariel sheets, and put her to sleep in it.  Bed time has been a bit more involved since then, but she has, as they say, been sleeping like a baby.  Note:  It is currently bedtime and I have been interrupted twice for various songs and hugs required pre-bed and she is screaming at Sara right now.

The move concludes a remarkable string of accomplishments in the first quarter of 2013 - bye bye pacifier, bye bye diapers, and hello regular bed.  If only winter would conclude so quickly and efficiently.
