Big Girl Bed!

Today Gracie moved out of her crib and into her big girl bed! She had a great time saying "bye-bye" to her crib (there was obviously no attachment there!) and helping put together her toddler bed. Perhaps it was a mark of her new independence, but she refused to wear a shirt during the process. =)

Once the bed was put together, Grandma came over with a new monkey quilt and pillow for the bed. The quilt is TOOOO cute! The panels tell the story of the "5 Funky Monkeys" and the smaller pieces of fabrics contain thinks like band aids, bananas, and sock monkeys jumping on pogo-sticks. I will try to get a better picture of it that shows all the detail. The most amazing part? My mom made it in one week and had no pattern! Gracie loves it!

So now comes the interesting part. Bedtime is only minutes away...will she sleep? I'll keep you posted!
