Elsie reached a big milestone tonight. She is officially out of her crib and the crib is now a toddler bed.
Stephen was in the playroom with Mary Grace just before bedtime tonight and I had gone downstairs to search for Bunky. When I came back up, Stephen and Mary Grace were still in the playroom. I went to Elsie's room to give Bunky to her and there she was, in her bed. I asked Stephen if he had put her in there and he said that, no, he had been in the room with Mary Grace the whole time. So we took Elsie back out of the bed and told her to show us how she had gotten into the crib. She showed us alright! She just put one little foot on the mattress and swung the other leg over the railing and plopped right into the bed. I am just thankful we realized her dexterity in this matter while she was getting into the bed rather than out of it!
Stephen quickly took off one side of the crib and now it's just a toddler bed. Same crib, but without one of the sides. She's very proud of herself in her new bed!
Oh my! This is news! I fear the day is drawing near for us as well. It's always so nice to be able to keep them contained. I always especially miss the pack-n-play. Once Olivia could climb out of that, bedtime at my parents' house felt like WWF smackdown for a brief stretch of time. I really don't look forward to that with Benjamin. :)
ReplyDeleteI felt like this day was coming soon....too soon! We now have two big little girls don't we. I wish you all could have been up here in the snow. The girls would have loved it!! Can't wait to see you in little over a week. We sure do love and miss you all!
