Big Girl Nest

Sleeping Beauty

In other firsts, we can report that Birdie is, at this moment, asleep in her big-girl-just-like-Joe!-bed.  !!!!! We've been talking about it off and on for about two weeks.  Last night, when walked of the bambini's room after tucking them in to Joe's launching into a primer about big beds.  He began by telling Clara that when you sleep in a big bed, you can't fall out.  True enough, Fans, true enough.  So far, with about four hours in the big girl bed logged, she hasn't fallen out.  This might actually be saying something given that there's no rail on the bed, and at least during her nap, she was kind of all over it the way she was in the crib.  When she was tucked in tonight, she started with her head on the pillow, curled up on her side with Pink Dog.  But, by the time we came back in to tuck Joe in, she'd shimmied down to make room for the rest of the menagerie on her pillow which wreathed her head like a halo.  So the big girl bed was taken very much in stride by our big girl and tomorrow morning, maybe we'll all pile like puppies on to her bed!

Putting the big girl bed together, with very helpful helpers.
