Big Girl Bed

Over the holiday break, we decided to go ahead with the big move to a toddler bed for Adaline. Shane and I had a full week at home with the kids with daycare closed, so it was a good opportunity to sleep in after possible rough nights.

To Adaline, this new bed set up only meant more playtime. She is able to get out of bed and move freely around the room (but not out of it, as we put up a gate at her door). She didn't nap the whole week out of school and hasn't on a weekend since. At night, Adaline will play for several hours in the dark, emptying her dresser drawers, taking all her books from the shelf to her bed, putting on her shoes (over footy pj's), making meals in the play kitchen, and whatever else her heart desires.

Adaline caught with her swimsuit on her head at nap time...notice the cups on the handles of the rocking horse.

We make a big deal of cleaning up before bed, but this is what we usually get in the morning or at the end of nap.
