So, we have finally made the big transition to a big girl bed for Braelyn. It was a pretty big change for her, considering all her furniture, minus her lamp, was taken to the baby room. I have some video of her when she first saw it, but I need aaron's help to upload that. She likes it and seems proud to be sleeping in her "big girl bed". When we tell her it is night night time, she will say, "go get in Braelyn's big girl bed" :), and head up the stairs. She has only gotten out a couple of times, and we explained to her she wasn't allowed to do that, and so far, since then, she has stayed in. It has been taking her quite awhile to actually fall asleep though, but I'm thinking that will get better with time. Another exciting thing is that she has not had her pacifier since we put her in the big girl bed!! The first day I laid her down, she didn't ask for it, so I just left her without it, and since then she hasn't even asked for it!! I'm so thankful for that. Right now all of the baby furniture is in the other room, and I'm keeping the door shut so she can't see it. Not sure when we will reveal that to her, but overall, she is doing a great job. Her room seems so much bigger now, and her toys all have a home, which is helping keep the floor more clear. Here are some pics. A big thanks to my Mom for finding the bed and hauling it to us, and to Aaron's mom for keeping Braelyn for a few days while we made the transition. And of course, to my wonderful husband, Aaron, for moving all the furniture, rearranging it, and rearranging it again :). I am so thankful for his willingness to help me with stuff all the time. And his patience with me while I change my mind over and over. Next project, baby sister's room!! But I am taking a break right now....
This is a collage of mini pics from her first year. Below are the verses that I had used in her nursery, and I was able to just change the background color and keep them in her room :)
I do have to give God the glory for providing so many things for her room at a really good price! I had one day to go shopping for pretty much everything I needed to put in her room(sheets, comforter, chair, shelf for toys, curtain, bedskirt.....) all I had was the bed frame, mattress, and one little shelf to begin with, but after a shopping spree to all the thrift stores in Bristol, and then to Target and Ross and TJMaxx.....I was DONE! And exhausted. So I got the curtain, bedskirt, and cute flowers on the wall all at thrift stores for like 2 or 3 bucks each! Thank you Lord!! And then I found the sheets on sale at Target for $3.50 for the set!!! And another set on clearance for 7.00! A big thanks to my cousin, Julie, who let us have the bedrail! So, I just wanted to say thank you Lord for providing so much, in one day, at good prices, to help us get this room ready for Braelyn.
And finally, a few pics of Braelyn. One of her favorite snacks is popcorn, which she calls, "hotcorn".....her and daddy REALLY enjoy it!
Braelyn had a lot of fun biting into this apple. She ate almost half of it like this. I think she was pretty proud of herself.
