So Raegan had started giving us problems with her sleeping. She doesn't want to go to bed, wants to sleep with us or on the couch. After yet another night of her not sleeping in her bed I finally asked her why she keeps getting out. Her response was "my bed's not soft." Bob and I talked about this not quite knowing what to do because her crib will turn into a full-size bed, but her room will not accommodate a full-size bed and all of her toys. We finally decided to get her a twin bed and just put away the crib frame until there was more room. So I took Raegan to the furniture store to look at beds. We are lucky enough to have a friend in furniture sales, so he talked to Raegan and let her jump on the beds! We finally picked one out and made the purchase. I'm not sure I have seen her this excited before!
Then when I told her we needed to get sheets and a comforter, she told me she wanted to go to Target. What the heck!! She's three!!!! How does she know that they sell that stuff?? Anyway, we go to Target and she doesn't like anything (because I won't let her get Disney Princess). So then she says "I want to go to Kohls." Now I KNOW the only reason she wants to go is to ride the escalator but then she shocks me again and says "We need to go upstairs to look at the beds!" How do they get so smart????? Anyway, she found her bedding set at Kohl's and of course they don't have the twin size, so off I go to another store to get it for her.
We had to pick the bed up to avoid a delivery charge and Raegan was able to go with Bob which was a VERY big deal to her.
So here is a picture of her in her big girl bed!
Now Gavin doesn't want to be left out of all of this! He has been in and out of Raegan's toddler bed since he was able! He had really shown an interest in laying in her bed recently, so the night that we set her new bed up, we decided to make his crib into a toddler bed. That night he did awesome! I don't think that he realized that he could get out. Last night was a different story! Bob put him to bed and he came out carrying his blanket looking really confused, like "how in the world did I get out here by myself." So back to bed he went and this time he stayed. This morning I must have been making too much noise when I got out of the shower because all of a sudden he came bursting out of his room and then stood in the hall blinking and looking confused!
It is just so sweet to see him turn into a little man, but at the same time, I want them both to stay little for a while longer!
