Ashlyn's big girl bed.

Today is the day I will need lots of prayer. This is the day we change Ashlyn from her crib to a big girl bed! After church, Brian and Diane came over and helped us rearrange rooms. Brian and Mike started taking down the crib in one room and then taking down the queen bed in the spare bedroom. We stopped for lunch and then back at it again. My head just started spinning because so much was going on at one time. We were putting Ashlyn's new bed up, moving the crib to the spare bedroom, moving the queen bed out of the spare room, and in all of this I was taking down my Christmas decorations and tree!!!!! I must be crazy!! After we got Ashlyn's bed set up I hadn't even thought about bedding. Oh great! So while Ashlyn was napping, Diane and I went to look at Target to see if we could find something. We didn't just find something, we found a bedding set that matched Ashlyn's room perfect. Of course before we left Target we had to go look at the baby bedding sets also. We ended up buying 2 of them and bringing them home to look at them better. What a great shopping day and to make things even better, everything we bought was on sale! Tonight is the night Ashlyn will sleep in her big girl bed. We are going cold turkey and just putting her in it to sleep. I am very nervous because I don't even have a safety rail to put up yet. I ended up just putting lots of pillows and a down comforter on the side of her bed in case she falls out. I hope this all works. I am going to sleep on the couch in the living room just in case she would wonder out. We did her normal bedtime routine and just put her in bed. She had a musical toy that we had on her crib and we moved it over and attached it to the bed for comfort. That night she pushed the musical toy about 5 times before she actually went to sleep. She did go to bed easily and she didn't get out of bed. Hopefully the night will go okay.
