Big Girl Bed

My girl is two-and-a-half and ready for a big girl bed. We did this with brother when he was about her age too. We considered buying her a new bed. We went to several stores and looked around, but in the end, we decided she would get brother's bed and brother would be the one to get a new bed. But before I get to that, can we have a moment for this crib?
Both our babies spent the first two and a half years of their lives sleeping here. It was a great crib. And it made me a little sad to see it go.
But the cute little pregnant lady who bought it was excited, and I'm glad another precious baby will put it to good use. And we got $100 out of it, so I was happy!

We moved the bed up to Lucy's room and headed to Target to look for bedding. I knew I wanted bright, that was really my only requirement, which was fortunate because the options were limited. But the good news is we found one we liked and it was on clearance! We found two sheet sets that matched (one of which was also on clearance!) and headed home. We got everything set up and had one excited girl!
The transition has been very smooth. This one likes to get out of her bed (which brother never did), but she learned quickly. And we learned that if we just give her a couple of books, she will read to her heart's content if she wakes early. :)
