Annika gets a "big girl" bed

Annika finally outgrew her toddler bed or maybe we just wanted to get her something bigger so we finally made the move to the big girl bed today. Annika was very concerned as we moved her toddler bed frame out to the road to see if anyone wanted to pick it up for free. So her dad, being the jokester he is, told her that she was moving out and she could go live with Cassie (her aunt and PCA). Well, that wasn't bad news for Annika and she proceeded to go to the steps to head in the house to "pack her bags". I had to take her to van to show her that she had a new bed that we were going to put in her room. That was good news for her and even better news is that we needed to go shopping for "big girl" bedding. Because there is just the boys ahead of her we had nothing in twin sheets that would pass on the "princess" bed. She had a great time picking out her bedding. As we were putting up the bed, she got inside the bed frame and put her head down on the floor. She was very excited.

For the first night in a long time she didn't even argue about heading to bed. She was even asleep before we gave her the bedtime meds. She crawl in her new bedding, took her choice of her dolls and laid down in her "Little Mermaid" a.k.a "princess bed" bedding and was off to dreamland in less than 5 minutes. If only it worked that way every night!!!
