PSA - big girl bed

Last night Pooh Bear slept in a big girl bed (side from crib removed). Both girls were so excited and were playing (and jumping- ahem, Hilly) on the bed all evening. Jackie said to Jim "don't put the side back." So he said he wouldn't. We tucked her in.

An hour later we checked on her and she was laying there awake. She said she'd like to read, so we gave her a book and left. A half hour later she was resting with her hand on the book and told Jim she was going to sleep soon. A half hour later, she was sleeping like an angel.

This morning at 7, Jim heard her calling for me. She didn't even get out of the bed herself- she waited for us to get her. Something tells me Hilly wouldn't wait for us..... :)

I am personally shocked that we did this before she turned 5 and I know that our friends will be too. We never rush any sort of growing up in these parts, but when I presented the idea to Jax (after she expressed interest in climbing out of her crib) she was just so psyched about it. We talked about it for a week before it happened.

There's the story. Yay Jax!

Below is a reenactment of last night.
