We decided it was time for Haylie to move into her big girl bed - after we finally purchased a mattress (or two, since we also have a trundle). Tonight was really the best night to put it together since we had some crazy busy nights coming up. That and I think we were impatient to just get it over with.

We were prepared to sit outside her room and to go in several times tonight to make sure the new bed worked out. We did put up a side rail so hopefully she won't fall out and pulled the trundle out a little so she can get up and down on her own. We said good night and left. 2 seconds after that, I heard her through the wall doing something. Justin went in and she was sitting in her chair, reading her books. He put her back in bed. About 5 minutes later, Justin went to check on her (she responds so much better to him) and she was at least ON her bed but playing with the picture above it. About 10 minutes later Justin went in to check on her and she IS ASLEEP IN HER BED!!! Goodness, I hope it goes that smoothly every night. I'm anxious to see how tomorrow morning goes...if she gets up to read her books on her own or if she cries like she has done for the last 21 months to get out of bed. I'm hopeful it's a restful night (for everyone!) and a good morning. Fingers crossed!

The title of this post got the Flight of the Conchords song "It's Business Time" stuck in my head. Which, you should find on Youtube if you don't know what I'm talking about. ;)
Oh, and it's awesome that she did so well in her big girl bed! Lily did great (never got out of bed) for a few months, and THEN she started getting out of bed ever 5 minutes and we had to put a child safety knob on the inside of her door to keep her from trying to walk down the stairs in the middle of the night!
Love her new bed!! I already see many nights of fun with having a friend over, the endless chats and laughs!
