Big Girl Bed

Well, today was the big day! We said goodbye to Ellie Grace's crib & hello to a big girl loft bed built by Daddy. He labored hard on it working mostly at night after she went to bed sometimes to the wee hours of the morn. He did an awesome job as you shall see! 

We first took some pictures of her room the old way so we don't forget. 

Last time in the crib when it's hers. I'm sure she'll be in there with Mason sometime. 

Had to play with Daddy in the crib one last time. 

Then she grabbed his face & kissed him, so sweet. 

Then assembly began. 

She was so excited & kept saying, "this is so cool!" We got up in the bed with her & she loved that. She kept going up & down the stairs. 

Then it was time for bed & she acted scared & said she wanted her little bed but ended up doing really well. She didn't make a peep & hasn't hardly moved since we went out. 

I have to brag a little more here on my husband. Notice how the front rail folds down. That was not on the original plans we got off the Ana White website, it was his idea & designing. He did it so we could tuck her in easier & change the sheets easier. Genius material! I should also note that the stairs each lift up for storage inside. I forgot to photograph that. 

Naturally, I was nervous about how she'd do going from a crib to such a big girl bed but so far so good. I know it's still early. We'll see how the night goes & how nap goes tomorrow.
