We took her to a furniture store to look for beds. We told her where we were going and what we were looking for. She runs into the first store we go in, stops in the middle of everything and says “where’s my new bed?” It was very cute. She test drove several beds.
But we moved on to another furniture store. At the next store she found a bed she loved and we found a bed we loved, but they were different beds. Unfortunately this is one of those situations where the parents win. But, it didn’t really matter, once the bed we picked out was delivered, she was so excited to have a new bed it could have been a spaceship and she would have been excited!
It was delivered on Wednesday this past week. Our plan was to read to her in her new bed but still put her to bed in her crib until Friday night. That way, if the first night didn’t go smoothly, it wouldn’t be a huge deal because of the weekend. But, do you really think that happened? Once she was in her new bed, she was in her new bed and refused the crib.
She stayed in her bed without getting out until Sunday nap time. Nap time on Sunday she finally figured out she can get out of the bed when we aren’t around. She also knows how to open doors now. So, we had to stay nearby and put her back a few times before she finally stayed in bed and went to sleep.
So, we currently have both beds in her room. Our plan over the next few weeks is to get the other bedroom that is currently a disaster area, cleaned out and to move the crib and rocking chair into that room. This will make an easy transition for Courtney as well.
We have just been amazed at how easy the switch was! She was a little cranky after her first night in her new bed, but we haven’t had to go into her room at all overnight since she has started sleeping in it! She doesn’t stay in one spot, or even the right way like most people who sleep in a bed. She is still all over the bed.
Saturday we went and tailgated and then went to the AF game. We do this once a year with a group of friends. It was really stinking cold this year. It really made me wish we had an RV! But, we toughed it out. The game was against Colorado State University (CSU). It was a pretty good game and for the first time in the last several years, I stayed until the very end. I usually give up early and go back and eat more food at the tailgate spot.
Courtney stayed with Nana and Papa for the day. When I dropped her off, it was like ‘Mommy who?’ when I tried to say goodbye, which is the opposite of what happens when I drop her off at daycare. But, at least I know she loves being there! Apparently they played all day and had a wonderful time. I picked her up about 8:15pm, so she was pretty off schedule. That always causes major crankiness the next day, but its okay once and a while!
Other than that, life has kept us pretty busy with work and school, etc. Daycare is getting ready to move Courtney up a room to the Zebra room. She is currently a Rowdy Rhino. I am glad they feel she is ready. It’s just tough on me as a mom to see her growing up so fast! They are transitioning her into her new room this week, and then next week she will be over there full time.
Here is a cute picture of what happens when I let Hubby do her hair:
Well, our office is closed today in honor of Veterans Day. I have an accounting test this afternoon, but I need to use this morning to start clearing out the baby’s room! Hubby took Courtney to day care, so this will help speed up the process of cleaning!
