Big girl bed

Kaylin's big girl bed was delivered on Tuesday. It's been a rough few days for us all since we got it. She doesn't like to go to sleep in it...she still wants to fall asleep in mommy & daddy's bed WITH mommy. I'm trying to do baby steps to get her used to falling asleep by herself in HER bed, NOT mine. I know with baby #2 he/she WILL NOT be in our bed and will cry it out even if I have to kick Casey out of the house to get him/her there. And I mean falling asleep on his/her own in his/her own bed.
I found the quilt I want for Kaylin's bed, I just have to be patient and wait for it to go on sale. Of course I couldn't find one at Target, or somewhere cheap. No, I had to fall in love with one from Pottery Barn. And of course when I found fell in love with it, it was on sale. But do you think it was on sale the next day when I showed it to Casey to get his approval. Oh, no, that would have been too easy and I refuse to pay full price AND shipping/handling costs to get it to my house. So here I sit waiting, patiently. And let me tell you, pregnant women DO NOT have much patience.

Well it's been way too long since I have been on here and done any posts. April and May have just gotten away from me. We were gone from May 1-12 in Florida for a much needed family vacation. We were crazy and decided to drive, yes, with a 15 month old. Kaylin did pretty well being stuck in the car for 2 days each way. We took her to Disney and she had a blast seeing all the characters. Unfortunately I did not get as many pictures on vacation as I would have liked to, but I didn't want to feel tied to the camera. When we got back from vacation we went and bought Kaylin a big girl bed as she is going to be a big sister this winter. We had intended to just buy the boxspring/mattress combo but found a daybed we LOVE so got that instead. I had every intention of putting the mattresses in our office for the summer for my mom to sleep on when she is up here in June babysitting for us, but oh well. Kaylin isn't consistently sleeping in her room yet so it will all work out. The new bed is being delivered tomorrow afternoon so I am very excited/frantic that I will have the office cleared out for the crib (which will become the new baby's room this winter) and will have all Kaylin's stuff moved around/furniture out by the time the new bed is delivered.
