Big Girl Bed

During vacation Lydia got to sleep in a big girl bed alone. After this event she was not too happy about the thought of sleeping in her "baby bed". So at the old age of 2, Lydia declared herself a big girl and is thrilled about sleeping in her very own bed. 

James and I went back and forth and back and forth on toddler bed, mattress on the floor, twin bed with rail, twin bed without rails. I think we found the perfect combination of all our options. A twin bed with a small frame. The bed is maybe 2 feet off the floor. The rails are sitting in a box in her bedroom. So far she has only fallen off the bed once - no tears just climbed back in the bed rather embarrassed like :( Thinking the bed rails are going to go back to the store! 

Anyway, this little girl is quite tickled with herself. She loves to go upstairs to play on her bed. All of her babies now go upstairs to sleep through out the day. And most of all, Lydia will tell anybody who will listen that she is a big girl with a big girl bed (and shame on the people who tell her she isn't a big girl!).
