News Flash...

Cassidy now sleeps in a Big Girl Bed! We were just cleaning out the garage and decided to stop storing a toddler bed in the garage and put it to good use. So now we have a crib in the garage. :) Our original plan was to buy a twin bed and skip the toddler beds altogether. But since some friends of ours were moving and no longer needed their toddler bed we took it. It worked out perfectly because I didn't have to go buy some new bedding, but something to look forward to. Cassidy has been adjusting great to her big girl bed. She was very excited and enjoyed watching me take down the crib and get her new bed ready. One of the first things she did on her new bed, was jump on it. Of course! And she couldn't wait to show daddy, who was working in the garage.

A couple of hours later, my visiting teachers came over. As soon as they sat down Cassidy had to get them back up on their feet and lead them to her bedroom to show off her new bed. It was so cute to watch her excitement. :) After my visit with my friends it was time for Cassidy to take her nap. I wasn't sure what to expect. Let's just say I think because of all the excitement it took Cassidy 2 hours to settle down and finally take her nap. She took a great 3 hour nap and Derek and I decided to reward her for doing so well. We took her to Target to pick something out in the $1 section (at this age so easy to please, we like it). Out of stickers, paint, books,... she picked out a cute little stuffed froggie. She had to sleep with her new friend that night, as you can see in the picture above.

For the most part since then Cassidy has been adjusting pretty well. She has only fallen out of her bed 3 times. (it's really close to the ground so she's okay) And sometimes she will wake me up in the middle of the night to tuck her back in her bed. I'm going to need to work on teaching her how to tuck herself in after she kicks all her blankets off. She gets upset when she doesn't have her blankets just right. At least she goes right back to sleep after her blanket needs are taken care of. We're so proud of our little girl and can't believe she's growing so fast right before our eyes.

Potty Training here we come! :) Wish us luck!
