the big bed

Last night Elle slept for the first time in her new big bed. She was so excited! She's very happy to give her baby bed to baby brother and put his new bedding in it for him. It was very bittersweet to tuck her into a new bed. It's one of the twin beds my sisters and I grew up with. We haven't gotten everything in their room arranged the way we want, and she'll need some new bedding, but here's Elle in her new bed.

Mops likes it too!

I found a great book at the library last weekend that we've been reading to get ready for the big night. Your Own BIG BED by Rita M. Bergstein, uses animal babies to tell show what happens when a little boy starts getting too big for his mommy's tummy and then his crib . It definitely has the elle-m-n-o-p seal of approval!

(media literacy note: The book calls the koala a bear, but it's really a marsupial.)
