Big Girl Now

Well, it is happening before my very eyes -- my baby, my little girl is growing up! She's been using the potty fairly successfully and wearing underwear (except at bedtime) for a few weeks now. Today, we took her crib down and put up her first bed. It was really hard not to cry as I saw her crib leaving her room, and even harder seeing Caitlin getting ready for bed in her big girl bed. She told me "mommy I a big girl now!"

Of course, Caitlin loves her bed! What little girl wouldn't? It is a Tinkerbell canopy bed with an iridescent canopy and girly ribbons. It really is pretty. Thank you to Aunt Jackie and Uncle Bill for the beautiful Tinkerbell toddler canopy bed and bedding!

Caitlin didn't want to read stories tonight -- she just wanted to go to bed. I was even told "mommy get out of here!"
