If you come over to our house....

You will be immediately escorted by a very excited two-year-old to her room to see her new BIG GIRL BED! I completely underestimated how exciting taking the front of the crib off would be.

So every person (and animal) that's been to our house since Saturday has been obligated to see it, oh and be excited about it. She also tells every person she talks to about her "big girl bed" even if they're strangers and could really care less :)

I was obviously very afraid to put her in a bed in which she could escape from. My mom kept telling me to not expect her to stay in it or fall asleep/stay asleep very well. Well, thankfully, this time, grandma was wrong. I even sent her a pic I snapped of my monitor to prove it. Yes, my child is still under surveillance....I KNOW she's two....and no I don't have my monitor on most of the time, but we still check in on her and I love seeing her sleeping in her bed. Bliss I tell you.
The only time she doesn't stay in bed is right when we lay her down. She'll sometimes get up and say she's got to go potty and such, but she used that stall tactic before so that's nothing new.


In other news....I've found another awesome way to entertain my kid AND have some good ole fashioned butt kickin' work out time. Bless you Gold's Gym for having the sweetest set up. Ever.
Addie did really well playing in there with the other kids and made a little Easter picture to bring home. As for me, I can barely move without the pain of sore muscles. Win-win. I figure it's a great pre preschool thing for her to interact with kids without me (since I'm in nursery with her at church).

So there you have it....random post I know. Big girl bed, the kid actually sleeps in it and I'm hoping to look decent in a swimsuit this summer. Here's to Spring!

I can't believe how big she is!! Love the monitor picture. Terry and I are addicted to ours! We check it about 200 times a night. I love how yours still looks brand new; ours has bite marks all over it!!

I am glad the transition went so well. And I don't know about the surveillance of a 2 year old (though there many times when I can hear Anna in her room and I just wish I could see what she was doing), but you might want to keep that handy monitor around for when she turns 16 ;) And that day care looks sweet. Day care at my gym costs a heck of a lot extra which is why I have to wake up and go before Ross goes to work. Super lame. I like you way better!
